1.e4 e5 2.c3 d5 3.f3 Nf6 4.d3 Nc6 5.Be3 Be7 6.b4 Be6 7.g4 d4
8.Bd2

{It would have been better to play Bf2, and protect the diagonal that I fail to exploit later on.}
8...dxc3
{And here it would have been much better to play Nxe4, he can't take back with either of the pawns, because of the loose dark squares leading to his king. 8...Nxe4 9. dxe4 Bh4+ 10. Ke2 Bxg4# or 9. fxe4 Bh4+ 10. Ke2 Bxg4 and I get the queen.}
9.Nxc3 Bxb4 10.a3 Bc5 11.Na4 Be7 12.Bc3 O-O 13.h4
{He has yet to move any of his kingside pieces off their original squares.}
13...Nd4 14.g5 Nh5 15.Rh2 Nf4
{I missed the fork, Bb3.}
16.Ne2 Nfxe2
{And, now I missed an amazing fork Nxf2+ winning the Rook.}
17.Bxe2 Bb3
{At least I didn't miss the bishop fork again.}
18.Qb1 Bxa4 19.Bd1 Bc6
{It would have been better (slightly) to either trade off the bishops, Qd7 protecting the bishop and maintaining control of the useful diagonal. Or, even playing it back Bb5 and putting some pressure on the d-pawn.}
20.Rf2 Qd7 21.Qb2 Bc5 22.f4 exf4 23.Rxf4 Ne6 24.Bg4
{He makes a mistake here. I break the pin by taking the hanging pawn.}
24...Qxd3 25.Rf3
{Another mistake on his part spells doom for him.}
25...Qxe4+ 26.Qe2 Nd4
{I should have played Qxg4, hanging on to my dangerous queen.}
27.Bxd4 Bxd4 28.Qxe4 Bxe4
{Even though the computer disagrees with the trades that were made here, at the end of the day I'm attacking both his rooks and things are looking pretty good for me.}
29.Rd1 Bxf3 30.Bxf3 Rfe8+ 31.Kd2 Rad8 32.Kc2 Bf2 33.Rf1 Bxh4 34.Bxb7 Bxg5 35.Bf3 Rd2+ 36.Kc1
{I've got mate here. I play the line and he resigns!}
36...Rf2+ 37.Kb1 Rxf1+ 38.Kc2 Rxf3
{White resigned}
0-1
