1.d4 Nc6 2.Nf3 b6 3.Nc3 Bb7 4.e4 Nb4 5.a3
{A bit over zealous with that knight.}
5...Na6 6.Bd3 e6 7.O-O c5 8.dxc5 Bxc5 9.b4 Bd6
{9...Be7 is slightly better because after 10. Bxa6 Bxa6 11. Qxd6 Bxf1 12. Kxf1 and I've won both bishops for the rook. This wouldn't have been a very Lindsey line to play though (I like my rooks).}
10.Bb2 Qb8 11.g3
{I should have been paying better attention to the loose knight on a8. The d6 bishops is no longer in danger, but neither is my h-pawn. 11. Qe2 and the knight is attacked twice, defended once and doesn't really have anywhere to go.}
11...Nh6 12.Nb5 O-O
{It's time to simplify.}
13.Nxd6 Qxd6 14.Bxa6 Qc6
{Better would have been 14...Qxd1 15. Rfxd1 Bxa6. Now I just get the knight.}
15.Bd3 Rae8 16.Ne5 Qc8 17.Qd2
{Better is 17.Bb5, putting more pressure on the weak d-pawn, but I was more interested in putting pressure on his king.}
17...f6 18.Nc4 Qc6 19.Qe3 Ng4 20.Qd4 e5 21.Qc3 Rf7 22.Rad1
{b5 never occurred to me, because I figured the queen could just take it, but if she did, then Nd6 could happen and everything's forked.}
22...Ref8 23.Be2
{This was a bad move on my part, and one of the first truly bad moves of the game. I've hung the pawn, and when he takes it he's also protecting the knight I threatened. So, once again b5 was the correct move in this situation.}
23...Qxe4 24.Rd2
{Wow, I gave him a mate in one and he missed it. Crazy.}
24...f5 25.f3 Qc6 26.Bd3
{I really started to let the game slip here. It would have been better to play Nd6 or Rd6, trying to get some pressure off my king and onto his pieces.}
26...f4 27.Nxe5 Nxe5 28.Qxe5 Rf6 29.Qg5 h6 30.Qh4 b5
{Always watch the diagonals.}
31.Bxf6 Qb6+ 32.Kg2 Rxf6 33.c4
{Better here would have been Qh5, getting her a little more mobile and dangerous. 33. Qh5 fxg3 34. Qe8+ Rf8 35. Bh7+ Kxh7 36. Qxf8 and I've won another rook for a bishop.}
33...g5 34.Qg4 fxg3 35.hxg3
{It would have been slightly better to take on g7, but my queen is getting in there either way now.}
35...Qe3 36.Rdf2
{Yikes! I just hung a bishop.}
36...Qxd3 37.c5 Bc6
{I have squandered most of my lead, but he makes a few mistakes before the end as well.}
38.Qh5 Qxa3
{Instead of gobbling that pawn, he should have played Re6 to stop all of the ensuing checks that can come from my queen going to e8.}
39.Qe8+ Rf8 40.Qg6+ Kh8 41.Qxh6+ Kg8 42.Qxg5+
{I give him the out of Kf7. Had I played Qg6+ then Kh8 Rh1 is check mate.}
42...Kf7 43.Re1 Rg8
{Black resigned}
