Answer 1

Your strengths are quick development and tactical alertness.  Just how good you are right now depends on how deeply you analyze your combinations.  You might very well be able to get away with 10...Q:g5, 11. N:f7, but it gets a little messy after 11...Q:g2, since you are allowing your own K-side to be fractured.  You should have been a little suspicious of winning material if it means you have to give up a developed Bishop and temporarily put the Knight out of play in order to capture the undeveloped Rook at h8.

Based on this one game, I would hazard a guess that your gameknot.com rating is at least as high as your 1350 Yahoo rating and perhaps 100-200 point higher.  You certainly dominated your 1115 rated opponent.
