{Termination "Black king mated" Mode "ICS" DateLastMove "2008.12.2" Board "5386918"}
1.e4 e5 2.Qf3
{A silly move to play against someone who isn't a complete idiot.}
2...Nf6 3.Nc3 Nc6 4.Nge2 d6 5.h3 Be7 6.g4
{Do keep in mind his name is pawnstorm.}
6...O-O 7.a3 Nd4 8.Qd3 Nxe2 9.Bxe2 Be6 10.Qg3 c6
{It would have been slightly better to just play d5, instead of preparing to play it when it's already playable.}
11.d3 Qa5 12.b4 Qc7 13.Bd2 d5 14.b5 dxe4 15.d4 Bd6 16.d5
{None of these pawn thrusts were entirely sound, but he gets under my skin very well this way.}
16...cxd5
{From this position, I have a solid lead.}
17.g5 Nd7 18.O-O d4
{My first mistake of the game. I got over confident about the strenght of my center and I hung the e4 pawn.}
19.Nxe4 Qxc2 20.Bd3
{This was a very good move on his part and most of my lead is slipping away.}
20...Qc7 21.Nf6+
{If I'd not taken the knight things would have been terrible for me. But there was no way I wasn't going to take the knight and so things become terrible for him.}
21...Nxf6 22.gxf6 g6 23.Qg5 Qd8 24.Qh4 Rc8 25.Bg5 Re8 26.Qh6 Bf8
{He's had me on the ropes this whole time, but theoretically I'm better. I just can't afford to make any mistakes.}
27.Qh4 Qd5 28.Bh6 Red8
{This was the mistake I couldn't afford to make. I needed that bishop for defense and now I've allowed it to be traded.}
29.Bxf8 Kxf8 30.Qxh7 Ke8 31.Bxg6
{All of my material advantage is now gone.}
31...Kd7 32.Be4 Qxb5 33.Bf5 Rc6
{This was probably my worst mistake. Had I played Kd6 instead, gotten away from his attack, picked off a few more of his pawns, I'd have been fine. That was not how it went down though...}
34.Bxe6+
{He did not take full advantage of my blunder, but I had already psycologically lost this game.}
34...Kxe6 35.Rfe1 Kxf6
{Now I really got greedy, or lazy or both and missed the totally obvious response Qh4+ winning my rook.}
36.Qh4+ Ke6 37.Qxd8 Rd6 38.Qh4 d3
{Well, sometimes you gotta go for it.}
39.Qg4+ Ke7 40.Rab1 Qa5
{Hung my pawn with check. Oops.}
41.Rxb7+ Rd7
{Forced mate from here and I'm done for.}
42.Qxd7+ Kf6 43.Qxf7+ Kg5 44.Re7 Qxa3
{This was the on chance I had. Qxe1+ wins a rook, gets me some tempo and could have turned things around. But I took the pawn instead.}
45.R7xe5+ Kh6 46.Qh5+
{He's toying with me now and moving his queen around with Rh5#}
46...Kg7 47.Rg5+ Kf8 48.Qe8#
{Black king mated}
1-0
