1.d4 e6 2.e4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 a6 5.Bd2 Nc6 6.Nf3 h6
7.Bd3 g5 8.O-O

{Computer says this move is the right one. But, looking at 8...g4 forcing my knight from the protection of the d4 pawn, i'm wondering if this was the right move.}
8...g4 9.Ne1 Nxd4
{Apparently this is a mistake on his part.}
10.Qxg4 c5 11.Bxh6
{I deserved to lose this game based soley on this move. I'm sure I thought I saw some tactic that wasn't really there. But, if I'd just played Qg7 I would have won is rook and many other pieces along the way. He gave me an opportunity to take charge of this game and I missed it.}
11...Nxh6 12.Qg7 Kd7 13.Na4 b5 14.Nb6+
{Luckily I saw the tactic here. His queen can't take it because the rook hangs at h8 if he does.}
14...Kc6 15.Nxa8 Bb7 16.c3
{I saw the fork here and took advantage of it.}
16...Bxa8 17.cxb4 c4 18.Be2
{I could have moved my bishop almost anywhere else and it would have been safe. But instead I hung it.}
18...Nxe2+ 19.Kh1 Nf5 20.Qxf7
{Asleep at the keyboard. This move allows for a forced mate. 20...Rxh2+ 21. Kxh2 Qh7#.}
20...Nf4 21.g3 Ne2
{It was his turn to make a mistake, but it was too late for me.}
22.Qxe6+ Nd6 23.exd6 Re8 24.Qg6 Kb7 25.Nc2 Kb8 26.Rfe1
{And I walked right into a forced mate.}
26...d4+ 27.Qe4 Bxe4+ 28.f3 Bxf3#
{White king mated}
0-1
