Not sure what to make of this game

The end game was pretty strong I thought (although it only worked because black blundered pretty badly).

White's opening was pretty dire though in my opinion. Should really have gone on to lose that game.

Why did he swap a rook for a pawn?? There was literally nothing to be gained from that move.
Computer Analysis:

Move #11 by white is double-question marked... you sac'd the rook for what appears to be little compensation. Computer says black is up +5.5. Prior to this move, white was up by +4.4.
Move #15 by black is double question marked.. why castle instead of attending to the attacked knight?
Move #20 by white is killer; placing king in check while making a discovered attack on the black rook, winning back material.

Black night moves in the beginning of the game are questionable and costed black tempo while developing your pieces.

It appears the only thing that kept your pawn on the 7th rank is a consecutive series of checks. Since black did not have any opportunity to remove the pawn you cashed in on the extra queen.

Very unique & high attacking game.

Very suspicious game. How can white and black play so bad? Even though white seen the tactic at the end.
Noob2chess i think that both black and white are noobs2chess.
the rook sac was a psych tactic to put the opponent into an egocentric mindset as the this was the rematch after a defeating them in the first game, and I figured they might be playing emotionally seeing as they were blitzing moves during a 20 min game.

@mruknowwho, hey whatever helps you finish?
