You won by punishing a major blunder; 
from Black’s side, 
your play is simple and correct 
but the game is not really instructive for you 
beyond “don’t miss mate in one.”

## Opening and name
The line is a **Three Knights Game**:  
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Bc5. 
This is a perfectly sound and classical setup for Black, 
aiming for quick development and control of the center. 

## Move-by-move from Black’s side
Position after 3…Bc5:
1. e4 e5  
2. Nf3 Nc6  
3. Nc3 Bc5

- You have:
  - Solid central control with …e5.
  - Both a knight and bishop developed, king still in the center but safe.
  - No weaknesses yet; this is fine for any time control. 

Then:
4. Nh4?  
- This is simply a losing move by White 
  because it hangs the knight on h4 with no compensation.
- In “normal” positions, 
  Nh4 is sometimes played to hit a bishop on f5 or g6, 
  but here it just walks into a tactical shot.

4…Qxh4!  
- This is completely correct: you win a clean piece with a simple capture.

5. g3?  
- White is trying to chase your queen but is already a piece down.  
- The move also weakens the dark squares around their king, especially f3 and f2.

5…Qf6  
- This is fine: you keep the extra piece and centralize the queen.
- Objectively you’re just winning here with no risk.

6. g4??  
- Another blunder: White pushes a pawn instead of defending the f2-square.
- This fatally weakens the king and leaves f2 completely unprotected.

6…Qxf2#  
- Correct and decisive; 
  you exploit the classic pattern of queen + bishop on c5 
  delivering mate on f2 
  when White’s pieces are misplaced and f2 is undefended.

## What you can actually learn from this

From Black’s perspective:
- You followed basic principles: 
  develop pieces, 
  control the center, 
  and you were ready to punish unprotected pieces and king weaknesses.
- The critical pattern: 
  bishop on c5 plus queen on the f2–a7 diagonal 
  gives mating ideas on f2 
  if White neglects king safety or pushes pawns in front of the king.
- At a deeper level, 
  there was no real “test” of your opening understanding: 
  you didn’t have to find any difficult moves; 
  White simply blundered into a lost position.
