1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 d6 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Bxf4
{This was an opening I was not familiar with. Things are looking very good for white at the outset.}
6...Bg7 7.Bc4 Nc6 8.a3 O-O 9.d5
{He should be castling, and king safety will come into play.}
9...Na5
{Theory probably says that Ne5 was a better move here. But I wanted to keep pressure on him and he slips up as a result.}
10.Ng5
{All he had to do was move the Bishop back to d3 and remain safe. This cost him the game since he never regained balance.}
10...Nxc4 11.Bc1 Re8 12.Qf3 Bg4 13.Qd3 Ne5 14.Qb5 c6 15.dxc6 bxc6 16.Qb3 d5 17.exd5
{This move let me get off some nasty tactics. I took a long time to think about it and thankfully found the right move.}
17...Nd3+ 18.Kd2 Nxd5
{This was not the best move. Nc5 would have been better. I was trying for mate though and not material.}
19.Nxh7
{From here it's a forced mate. I go astray from it, but there is no recovering for him.}
19...Bh6+ 20.Kxd3 Nb6+ 21.Nd5 Nxd5 22.Bxh6 Nb6+
{He I've lost the mating pattern. Either Nf4+ or Nf6+ would have kept it alive. But, he was done for either way.}
23.Kc3 Kxh7 24.Rhd1
{White resigned}
0-1
