1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.Nf3 Bc5 5.e3 Ne7 6.exd4
{Had he played 5...Nc6 I wouldn't have been able to set up this nice little pawn center.}
6...Bb4+ 7.Nc3 Bf5 8.g3
{A better move tactically here would have been 8. Qa4+ forking the king and bishop. 8...Nbc6 fends off the attack, but the tactics work out for white in the end.} 8...Nbc6 9.Qa4
{This was a bad move at this point. My pawn center is threatened and Bg2 would have been the correct move.}
9...O-O 10.d5 Nxe5
{Bad move. Hangs the knight and the bishop.}
11.Nxe5 Bxc3+ 12.bxc3
{My pawns are doubled, but I've got a ton of territory and I'm up a bishop and a pawn, so no complaints.}
12...c6 13.Bg2 f6 14.Nf3 b5
{Not a great move, lets me undouble my pawns.}
15.cxb5 Qxd5
{I castled a response to this because I wanted to have discoveries on his queen, but Qb3 and trading is the correct move here.}
16.O-O cxb5 17.Nd4 Be4 18.Bxe4 Qxe4 19.Qxb5 Nd5 20.Ne2
{20. f3 was a better responce.}
20...Rab8 21.Qa6 Rfe8 22.Bf4
{This was not a good move. His rook was already on a bad square, so I've just forced him to move a piece he should be moving. I've also left the defence of b2, which is really a lovely place to put the aforementioned rook. If he'd not missed this we would have been back to almost even.}
22...Nxf4 23.Nxf4 g5 24.Ng2
{A better, more active move here would have been Nh5, which threatens the royal fork of Nxf6.}
24...Rbd8 25.Rfe1 Qd3 26.Qxd3
{Wrong move order. If I'd played 26. Rxe8+ Rxe8 27. Qxd3, I could have won the queen outright. Either way, I'm consolidating into a winning endgame.}
26...Rxd3 27.Rxe8+ Kg7 28.Rc1 h5 29.c4 Kf7 30.Ra8 g4 31.Rxa7+ Kg6
{His last mistake, giving me the rook.}
32.c5 h4 33.Nf4+
{Black resigned}
1-0
