1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Nc3 Nxe4 4.Nxe4
{My favorite little opening 'trap'. It works most of the time. It's only a pawn advantage, but I always take what I can get.}
4...d5 5.Bxd5 Qxd5 6.d3 Nc6 7.a3 f5 8.Nf6+ gxf6
{So, I begin the game in the lead.}
9.Nf3 Be6 10.c4 Qd7 11.O-O O-O-O 12.b4 Qxd3 13.Qxd3 Rxd3 14.c5 Rg8 15.Ne1 Rh3 16.g3 f4
{I missed a good opportunity here with Bc4, the rook is trapped and I win the exchange.}
17.Ng2 f3
{Another missed opportunity. Nd4 threatens Nf3+ and mate to follow. It would have forced him to give up some more material.}
18.Ne3 Rh4 19.Rd1 Rd4 20.Re1 Bh6 21.b5 Na5 22.Bb2 Rd2
{Bad mistake on my part. Allows him to fork the rook and knight with Bc3.}
23.Bc3 Rd7
{A better response to this situation would be 23...Bxe3 24. Rxe3 Nb3 25. Rxd2 Nxa1 and things are a bit more even.}
24.Bxa5 Rgd8 25.c6 Rd6 26.cxb7+ Kxb7 27.Bb4 R6d7 28.Nc2 Bc4 29.a4 Bd2 30.Bxd2 Rxd2 31.Rec1 Be2 32.h4 Rd1+ 33.Kh2 Rxc1 34.Rxc1 Kb6
{Apparently from here I was destined to lose a rook.}
35.Ne3 f5
{I'm starting to fall apart at this point. I had been able to keep up the small lead, but now I've hung a pawn for no apparent reason and things go downhill from here.}
36.Nxf5 Ka5 37.Ra1
{He could have just taken on c7 and started devastating my seventh rank with his rook.}
37...Rd3
{A better move would have been Rd1 and we trade, and I win the a-pawn and I'm well on my way to queening (or at least drawing).}
38.Ne7 Bd1 39.Nc6+ Kb6 40.Nxe5 Rd2
{stupid}
41.Nc4+ Kc5 42.Nxd2 Bc2 43.Ra3
{And he could have just won the bishop here with Rc1.}
43...Kb4 44.Rxf3 Kxa4 45.Rf7
{Black resigned}
