7:35 Bringing the queen out to a5 here isn't bad per se, even though it seems to break a common opening principle. This is the Czech Pirc and 4 Qa5 is the main move here; NM Robert Ramirez has got a video on this variation. The problem for your opponent is what they did afterwards, evidently not really knowing what they were doing.
I'm so glad you made it to 1300! I am absolutely convinced that such a handsome and smart British gentleman must be more than just "good" at chess. And you prove it every day by playing not only great moves but brilliant ones.
In your first game of your opponent has taken the bishop you could have attacked their queen with the rook while revealing a check by your queen. It looks to me like you’re winning a queen with that.
