{We both played inaccurately here. The threat of Bxd5 was a very dangerous one. He could have gone up a piece because of the pin on my c6 knight after Bxd5. Instead he played Nxd5 and things remained even.}
12...O-O 13.Nxb6
{0-0 was the 'right' move for me. But I'd rather not had the doubled pawns.}
13...cxb6 14.Bf4 Re8 15.Bg5 Qd7 16.d5 Ne7
{This move really weakened my position. It would have been best to play Na5. He should have played d6 immediately, but he plays it fast enough to ruin my day.}
17.Ne5 Qb7 18.d6 Rad8
{And this was the beginning of my downfall. I should have realized that his bishop on g5 was hanging. Nxg5 dxe7 Rxe7 and I'm still in the game. It's pretty much over from here.}

{I did not consider the fact that I didn't need to protect the pawn, and I could have further developed with e3 instead. Nxc3 leads to Qc2 and the knight is trapped.}
8...f5 9.Nf3 Nxg3 10.hxg3
{This is a nice example of a game where I didn't need a castled king to win. He however make some bad mistakes down the road.}
10...Nc6 11.e3 O-O 12.Bd3 b6
{He should have played Qf6 here. Instead I get to bust open his kingside, where all my peices are pointing.}

14...a5
{A very silly move considering his situation is getting dire.}

{I missed my chance to blow things up here. Rh8+, and he has to take back with the queen and I win all his pieces and the game is over. The game is still pretty much over.}
20...cxd4
{This move was terrible. His only chance was Rxg5 saccing the exchange but getting rid of my nasty knight. I miss the move that starts mate in 4, but he's still done for.}
