1.e4 e5 2.d4 Nc6 3.d5 Nd4
{I am going to have it tattooed on my forehead that Nce7 is the correct response in this situation. I always muck it up.}
4.Nc3 Bb4 5.Qd3 d6 6.a3 Ba5 7.Nf3 a6 8.Bd2
{It's wanted me to trade knights Nxf3+ for some time now.}
8...Bd7 9.Ne2 Nf6
{Missed the hanging bishop. Now that knight trade would have been the best choice. 9...Nxf3+ 10. gxf3 Bxd2+ Qxd2. Or even better for me, 9...Nxf3+ 10. Qxf3 Bxd2+ Kxd2.}
10.Bxa5 Bb5 11.Qc3 Rc8
{I failed to notice the loose pawn at e4. One variation, 11...Nxe4 12. Qxc7 Qxc7 13. Bxc7 Nc2+ 14. Kd1 Nxa1}
12.a4 Bd7
{I still should be taking at e4. I think after going down a piece I started playing very defensively.}
13.Nexd4 exd4 14.Nxd4 O-O
{Still...}
15.Be2 Nxe4
{Finally!}
16.Qf3 Qe7 17.O-O b6 18.Bc3 c5
{He could have taken en passant here, and messed things up. But he missed it.}
19.Nf5 Bxf5 20.Qxf5 f6
{Yet another pawn is hung. I didn't want to trade down because I was behind, but it would have been better to trade off the knight for the bishop and take some of the pressure off my king.}
21.Bxa6 Rce8 22.a5 g6 23.Qf3 Qf7 24.Be1 Qxd5 25.b3
{This seems like a silly move, but maybe he was preparing to play c4.}
25...Re5
{Wow, I totally missed the response 26. Bc4, which makes the move b3 no long seem silly. He made the preparing move, and then never pulled the trigger.}
26.axb6 Kg7 27.Qe2 Ng3
{I did not miss the important tactic. I think there was a way he could have saved the queen, but even the computer says to take the knight with the pawn.}
28.fxg3 Rxe2
{I did trade a rook and a knight for a queen, so I suppose letting her go was the right thing to do.}
29.Bxe2 Qd4+ 30.Kh1
{Much better would have been Bf2, protecting both the king and the rook.}
30...Qxa1 31.Kg1 Re8 32.Kf2 Qd4+
{White resigned. Wow, he played pretty well and then fell apart in the end. Once again Bf2 was the proper move. Kf2 leads to 32...Qd4+ 33. Kf3 Qe4+ 34. Kf2 Qe3#.}
