1.d4 d5 2.c4 Bf5 3.Nc3 e6 4.Nf3 Bb4
{I never considered taking the pawn cxd4. I maybe should have since it'd be trading a flank pawn for a central pawn.}
5.Bd2 Nc6 6.e3 f6
{If he'd activated his knight he'd be slightly ahead.}
7.a3 Bd6 8.b4
{When I make these giant pawn chains it's never the most sound plan. But it's the most fun, and chess should be a little bit about fun.}
8...Bxb4
{Apparently my giant pawn chain scared him and he threw a bishop into the fire.}
9.axb4 Nxb4 10.Qa4+ Nc6 11.c5 a5 12.Bb5 Ne7 13.Ne2 O-O 14.O-O Nb4 15.Bxb4 axb4 16.Qxb4
{His queenside is starting to look very weak.}
16...Be4 17.Nd2 b6
{This move let me open the queenside anymore, and made my queen and light bishop very dangerous.}
18.cxb6 cxb6 19.Nxe4
{I missed an opportunity here. 19. Rxa8 Qxa8 20. Qxe7. I distract the queen off that defensive square later, but it would have been most beneficial right now.}
19...dxe4 20.Bc4 Nc6
{I missed my chance to win the knight, and the irony is I play the move now when it doesn't do nearly as much.}
21.Rxa8 Qxa8 22.Qxb6 Rb8 23.Bxe6+ Kh8 24.Qc5 Re8
{Not good.}
25.Bd5 h5 26.Bxc6 Qxc6 27.Qxc6 g5
{And he finishes off with one more terrible move. Allowing me to just take his last remaining piece was strange. From here I have forced mate, but he doesn't make me play it out.}
28.Qxe8+
{Black resigned}
