{Termination "Black king mated" Mode "ICS" DateLastMove "2008.11.13" Board "5373830"}
1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3
{3. cxd5 would have been in the Marshall variation opening line.}
3...e6 4.Nf3 c5 5.Bg5 Qb6 6.Qb3
{This is the type of posistion that make my head hurt. Mainly because it's so even.}
6...Qc7 7.e3 b6 8.Be2
{This was a very timid move when the position called for aggression. It would have been better to start trading in the center, or to simply take his knight Bxf6, ruining his kingside structure.}
8...Bb7 9.cxd5 Bxd5 10.Nxd5 Nxd5 11.O-O
{I missed a tactic here. 11. Bb5 Nd7 and I could have gotten the pinned knight eventually.}
11...cxd4 12.Nxd4
{Missed another chance to win a piece with a similar tactic. 12. Rac1 Bc5 and I can again win the pinned piece.}
12...Bd6 13.g3 h6 14.e4 Nf6 15.Rac1 hxg5
{Games are usually made easier when someone hangs their queen.}
16.Rxc7 Bxc7 17.Qc3 O-O 18.Qxc7 Na6
{Now he's hung his knight, and I have no idea how this game lasts until the 44th move.}
19.Bxa6 Nxe4 20.Bb7 Nd2 21.Rd1
{No better feeling than trapping a knight.}
21...Rad8 22.Rxd2 Rfe8 23.Bc6 Rc8 24.Qb7 Red8 25.Bd7
{25. Nxe6 was better here. If he took back fxe6, he'd get mated after Rd7 and all my pieces are in his business.}
25...Rb8 26.Qxa7 Ra8 27.Qxb6
{Hangs the bishop. I may have gotten cocky.}
27...Rxd7 28.Nb3 Rda7 29.a3 Ra6 30.Qb7 R8a7 31.Qc8+ Kh7 32.Nc5 Ra8 33.Qxa6 Rxa6 34.Nxa6
{I proud of the fact that I could see it was better to trade my queen for both of his rooks, rather than hang on to her needlessly.}
34...Kh6 35.b4 f5 36.b5 e5 37.b6
{Passed pawns must be pushed.}
37...f4 38.gxf4
{Missed a mate in 9 here, but I was knew his pawns couldn't do anything and I just wanted to stick with my queening plan.}
38...exf4 39.b7 f3 40.b8=Q g4 41.Qb6+ Kh5 42.Rd5+ Kh4 43.Qd8+ Kh3 44.Qh8#
{Black king mated}
