1.d4 e6 2.c4 Nf6 3.Bg5 Be7 4.Nf3 O-O 5.e3 d5 6.Nc3 dxc4 7.Bxc4 Nc6 8.O-O Na5 9.Bd3 b6 10.Qc2
{I always play so well in the opening.}
10...g6 11.Rfe1 Bb7 12.Ne5 c5 13.dxc5 bxc5 14.Bf4
{I maybe should have played Bh6, weakening his king side and gaining a bit of time for
myself.}
14...c4 15.Nxc4 Nxc4 16.Bxc4 Qb6 17.Rad1 Qc6
{He missed a good tactic. 17...Bxg2, and the king can't recapture because then Qc6 forks the king and unprotected bishop.}
18.Bf1 Nh5 19.Be5 f6 20.Bd4
{This was a bad move. Taking my bishop away from the action. And, after 20...e5, he can't get back into the action. Better would have been simply playing him back to f4 and looking to play to h6.}
20...e5 21.Bxe5 fxe5 22.Qb3+ Kh8 23.Nd5 Bd8 24.Bb5 Qc8 25.Rc1 Qb8 26.Qc3
{And this is the part of the game where I hang my pieces...}
26...Bxd5 27.Red1 Qxb5 28.Qxe5+ Bf6
{If he'd played Nf6 instead, his other bishop wouldn't have been taken. It let me get back some material, but at this point it's sort of moot.}
29.Qxd5 Qxd5 30.Rxd5 Bxb2 31.Rc4 Nf6 32.Rdc5 Rad8 33.g3 Rd1+ 34.Kg2 Ba3
{White resigned}
