1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 dxc4 4.Nf3 Bb4 5.e4 Bd7 6.Bxc4
{This was sort of a strange opening, but I'm looking good on space and development so I'll take it.}
6...Qe7 7.Bg5 f6 8.Bh4 Nc6 9.a3 Ba5 10.O-O e5 11.dxe5 Bg4
{Bad move on her part. I'm just going to gobble another pawn.}
12.exf6 gxf6
{She should have activated her knight by taking with it. Now it's best square is occupied by a pawn.}
13.Qd3 Bd7 14.Nd5
{b4 was the better move. Lots of tactics with the knight coming to d5.}
14...Qg7 15.Bg3 O-O-O 16.Rfd1 Nh6 17.h3 Kb8 18.b4
{I finally play this move.}
18...Bb6 19.Qc3 Rdf8 20.Rd2 Rhg8 21.Rad1
{This was a bad move. The tactical possibilities on this board are insane.}
21...Bxf2+ 22.Kxf2 Qxg3+ 23.Kg1 Qxh3
{And with this one move, I'm back in it. Better would have been Bxh3}
24.Nf4 Qg4 25.Qe3 Ne5
{I don't think she saw my c4 bishop eyeing her rook.}
26.Bxg8 Nxg8 27.Nxe5 fxe5 28.Rxd7 Kc8
{Black moved into a crazy forced mate here, revolving around the queen taking on a7.}
29.Nh3 Nf6 30.Rxc7+ Kxc7
{And now she moved into a forced mate that I didn't miss.}
31.Qc5+ Kb8 32.Qd6+ Ka8 33.Qxf8+ Ne8 34.Qxe8+
{White claimed a win on time}
1-0
