{Termination "The_Buttle won by checkmate"}
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 b5 5.Bb3 Nf6 6.O-O Bc5 7.c3 Nxe4 8.d4 exd4 9.cxd4 Bb6 10.Re1 d5 11.Nc3 Bf5 12.Nxd5
{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.}
19.Bxf7+ Kf8 20.dxe7+ Qxe7 21.Bxe7+ Rxe7 22.Qxd8+ Re8 23.Qxe8#
1-0
