answers:
1)He was trying to gain an advantage by playing hope chess. He was hoping you wouldn't see the threat. If you happen to see the threat(you did) then it leads to an inferior position... conclusion? I was a mistake.
2)This is an easy one... your bishop is better off where it is at right now then to go to g4. It has no threats to create on g4.... conclusion? It was a mistake.
2) This is debatable. Wouldn't this just be a matter of opinion? Maybe it wasn't the "best" move, but it really a mistake?
I might want to add, that this game (my latest on this site) was against a supervisor from my job. I've played other co-workers, and he has an idea of how I play. That's why I feel that he was anticipating a certain position from me.
But then again, I'm a newbie on this site, and i don't even fully understand chess notation. I completely see where you're coming from that the fifth move was unnecessary. You've made a lot of good points, and you're probably right; this wasn't a mistake-free game.
