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#}

1.d4 Nc6 2.c4
{This move is less acurate, but I prefer QG structures.}
2...d5 3.Nf3 Bf5 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.e3 Nf6 6.Bxc4 Nb4
{His first major mistake, gives me great play on the kings open diagonal.}
7.Qa4+ Nc6 8.Ne5
{8. d5 was more accurate here, but I was going for Ne5 and Bxf7#.}
8...e6 9.Nxc6 bxc6 10.Qxc6+
{He doesn't fall for the mate, but I'll take an extra pawn this early in the game.}
10...Ke7
{He should have blocked with the knight here. I don't take advantage of the tactics he gives me, but after 10...e7 11. e4 and I win a piece.}
11.b3 g5
{I saw the opportunity to forcefully bring my dark square bishop into the game, and i did not miss it. His king is in big trouble.}
12.Ba3+
{The only way for him to defend the king is with the queen, and he's in huge trouble.}
12...Qd6 13.Bxd6+
{I missed a good inbetween move. I could have maintained the tension by playing 13. Qxc7 Ke8 14. Bxd6. Just hurt his position that much more.}
13...cxd6 14.Qxa8 Bg7 15.Qxa7+
{Now that i've throughouly devestated the king side, I need to get the rest of my pieces into the game to deliver mate.}

{This is the type of posistion that make my head hurt. Mainly because it's so even.}
6...Qc7 7.e3 b6 8.Be2
