1.d4 e6 2.c4 Bb4+ 3.Nc3 Bxc3+ 4.bxc3 Nf6 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bh4 g5 7.Bg3 Ne4 8.Qc2
{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.}
13.Rxh6 Rf6 14.Rh2
{The computer likes Rh5 better.}
14...a5
{A very silly move considering his situation is getting dire.}
15.Nxg5 Rg6 16.f4
{I missed a great tactic here. 16. Rh8+ Kxh8 17. Nf7+ and the queen and king are forked.}
16...Qf6 17.Kd2 Bb7
{He should have used the extra time to play Rh6 and put a stop to my attack.}
18.Rah1 Ne7 19.Qd1
{Eyeing the H5 square.}
19...c5 20.Qh5
{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.}
21.cxd4
{Mate in 4: 21. Qh8+ Qxh8 22. Rxh8+ Kg7 23. R1h7+ Kf6 24. Rf7#}
21...e5
{And he steps into a really awesome mate that I miss.}
22.dxe5
{Mate in 4: 22. Qh8+ Qxh8 23. Rxh8+ Kg7 24. R1h7+ Kf6 25. dxe5#}
22...Qc6
{Thankfully I did not miss mate in one.}
23.Qh8#
{Black king mated}
1-0
