1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nf3 f6 5.e3 c6 6.c5 Bxc3+ 7.bxc3
b6 8.cxb6
{This move allowed him to activate his bishop. Better would have been Qa4.}
8...axb6 9.Bd3 Ba6 10.Bc2 Bc4
{Slightly better is Ne7. Soon his relatively inactive pieces will work against him.}
11.Nd2 Rxa2
{He should not have given up his active and dangerous rook so quickly.}
12.Rxa2 Bxa2 13.O-O Bc4 14.Re1 Nd7 15.Ba3
{Maybe here I should have traded my knight for his bishop. It would have ruined his pawns and left me with all the bishops.}
15...c5 16.Ba4 b5 17.Bc2
{At this point I've lost most of my advantage by failing to trade pieces and win back the pawn.}
17...cxd4 18.cxd4
{I missed an amazing forced mate here. 18. Qh5+ g6 19. Qxg6 hxg6 20. Bxg6#}
18...Nh6 19.Qf3 Nf7 20.Nb1
{Qd3 and Nb1-c3 is an attempt to control the e4 square and push the pawn. However, he had the opportunity to penetrate my queenside with Qa5. A better move would have been 20. Bb4 preventing this penetration. Luckily he missed the opportunity.}
20...Nb6 21.Nc3 Qa8 22.Bc5
{Better is 22. Bb4. The threat still stands at a5 and now my knight is on the same diagonal as the rook. Danger.}
22...Na4 23.Ra1 Kd7 24.Nxa4 bxa4 25.Bxa4+
{Material is even, however I have to very dangerous bishops compared to his knight and bishop which are not effective in this posisition.}
25...Kc7
{A very bad move, which I capitalized on.}
26.Qg3+ e5
{Another bad move which I did not capitalize on.}
27.dxe5
{Much better would have been Qxg7 and I'm so far in his posistion that he can't recover. Luckily he resigned and I was not forced to recover from this oversite.} 27...Nxe5
{Black resigned}
