1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nc3 e6 4.e3 Bb4 5.Bxc4 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3
{I wouldn't have traded my bishop for a knight this early in the game.}
6...Nf6 7.Ba3
{Gotta love stopping the castle, even if it's just for a moment.}
7...Ne4 8.Qd3
{Slightly better is Qg4, putting some pressure on the king-side.}
8...f5 9.Nf3 Bd7 10.O-O g5
{He's got a lot of room on the king-side, which means I should look to stop him from castling on the queen-side now.}
11.Rab1 g4 12.Ne5 h5
{He forgot about that pawn.}
13.Rxb7 h4 14.Ng6 Rg8 15.Nf4 Nc6 16.Rfb1 g3 17.f3
{I missed taking the pawn on e6.}
17...Nf6 18.Bxe6
{I went for the pawn eventually. Although it would have been better to take with the knight.}
18...Bxe6 19.Nxe6 Qd7 20.Nxc7+
{From here it was all downhill for him.}
20...Kf7
{And now I can win his queen.}
21.Nxa8 Rb8 22.Rxd7+ Nxd7 23.Qxf5+ Ke8
{Missed a mate here. 24. Qg6+ Kd8 25. Qg8+ Nf8 26. Rxb8+ Nxb8 27. Qxf8+ Kd7 28. Qd6+ Ke8 27. Qe7# }
24.Rxb8+ Ndxb8 25.Nc7+ Kd8 26.Ne6+ Kd7
{There is another forced mate here, but at this point no matter what path I take it will lead to mate.}
27.d5 Ne7 28.Bxe7 Kxe7 29.Qf8+ Kd7 30.Qxb8
{Really? I missed mate in one with 30. Qd8#}
30...a5 31.Qc7+ Ke8 32.d6 a4 33.Qe7#
{Black king mated. This was a very strange game. I think I'll revisit it in the future.}
1-0
