1.b3 e5 2.e3 d5 3.Bb2 Nc6 4.a3 Nf6 5.Bb5 Qd6
{Protecting the knight, but it might have been better to post the bishop on that square.}
6.Qf3 Be7 7.Bxc6+ bxc6
{I should have just taken back with the queen, since the pawn at c2 is hanging, so he can't just pick off e5.}
8.d3 e4 9.dxe4 Nxe4 10.Bxg7
{After this move, the computer still lists me as ahead, though I don't know how that's possible.}
10...Rg8 11.Bd4 Bg4 12.Qf4 Qd7
{Such a bad move, I miss the completely obvious fork at f3.}
13.f3 Bh4+
{A pointless move.}
14.g3 Bg5 15.Qxg4 Qxg4 16.fxg4 O-O-O 17.h4
{It saddens me that I am losing and he has yet to move a knight.}
17...Be7 18.Ne2 Rxg4 19.Bxa7 Rdg8
{A sort of bad move, maybe even a ?!. I could have just taken the pawn since it's covered by the knight and rook, or better I could have played c5 and locked his bishop in the corner.}
20.Rg1
{He responds by protecting it, when it is not possible to adequately protect it. Better would have been to put some pressure on me with Rf1.}
20...Nxg3 21.Nxg3 Rxg3 22.Rxg3 Rxg3 23.Kf2 Bxh4
{At this point, against this person I think I had fighting chances. Luckily I throw that out the window shortly, by hanging my rook and then immediately resigning.}
24.Nc3 Rg1+ 25.Kxg1
{Black resigned}
1-0
