{Theory probably says that Ne5 was a better move here. But I wanted to keep pressure on him and he slips up as a result.}

{All he had to do was move the Bishop back to d3 and remain safe. This cost him the game since he never regained balance.}

1.d4 d5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.h3 Nc6 4.e3 Bf5 5.g4 Bg6 6.Nf3 Nb4
{Going for the fork here was not the most sound move, unless he falls for it.}

{Which he does.}
7...Nxc2+ 8.Ke2 Nxa1 9.Bd2 e6 10.Qxa1 Bd6 11.b4 O-O 12.Nb5 a6 13.Nc3 Qd7
{Since the opening tricks we've both played pretty solid chess. His queenside pawns are pretty strong, but he's very weak on the light squares.}
14.Bg2 Qc6 15.g5 Qc4+ 16.Ke1 a5
{This was my first big blunder. A much larger one is to follow. I always say, you can recover from one but two will kill you. Lucky for me he missed my second.}
17.b5 c6
{And, I think I've just forgotten that the knight is en prise at this point.}
18.Bf1 Qb4
{And there it is. I hung my queen and he doesn't take it. Madness.}
19.gxf6 Qb3 20.bxc6 bxc6 21.Be2
{From this point through most of the rest of the game I have to calculate whether I should take the f6 pawn or what would happen if he took the g7 pawn. It made my life hell and remained a dynamic on the board for way too long.}
21...Bxa3 22.Bd1 Qb4 23.Nxd5 Bb2
{I thought this was a good move. Not so much. After 24. Bxb4 Bxa1 25. Ne7+ Kh8 26. Nxg6+ hxg6 27. Bxf8 and he wins the rook.}
24.Qb1
{I did not even notice that my bishop could take on b1.}
24...Qb5 25.Nc7 Qd3 26.Qxb2
{Now he's won three of my pieces after the initial rook I won, and I can't believe that I ever won this game.}
26...Rab8 27.Qc1 Qe4
{Better was Rb1.}
28.Bc2
{It would have been better here for him to trade the pawns now. Instead he hung the knight and let me make up some lost ground.}
28...Qxf3 29.Rg1 Qxh3
{Here I could have taken that pesky pawn with my queen. But this move does lead to me winning his other knight.}
30.Bc3 Qh2 31.Rf1
{So, my fork wasn't even that great since it could have been refuted with Rg3. But, it wasn't.}
31...Qxc7 32.Ke2 c5 33.Qd2 Rfd8
{And this was yet another blunder. Lets him skewer my Queen and Rook. Let it be said that Matt approved this move.}
34.Bxa5 Qc6 35.Bxd8 Rxd8 36.Ra1
{Taking this rook away from the defense of the king side was not smart and after some crazy checks I could have won the queen, but I ended up mating.}
36...cxd4 37.exd4 gxf6 38.Rc1 Bh5+
{If he moved down or interposed the game went on. If he moved up it was mate in 1.}
39.Ke1 Qh1#
{White king mated. This was a crazy game and we both made some pretty terrible moves. Though I'm not proud of my play, I am proud of the way I held on and pulled it out in the end.}

I'm not going to bother annotating this one. It's pretty obvious what happened. I hung my queen early in the game, then I hung my knight a little later. It wasn't worth fighting for. But, I'm beating him in our other game right now.
