1 . d4 Nf6 2 . e3 e6 3 . Bd3 b6 4 . f4 ( This is an odd opening .) Bb7 5 . Nf3 c5 ( I usually do this to contest for the center .) 6 . Nbd2 d5 7 . c3 Bd6 8 . O-O O-O 9 . Ne5 Nfd7 ( I thought this would give me room for f6 and then possibly Re8 and e5 . However , I did not anticipate his next move .) 10 . Qh5 h6 11 . Rf3 Nf6 12 . Qh3 Nbd7 ( This is better .) 13 . Rg3 Kh8 14 . Ndf3 Ne4 ( I figured doubled pawns in the center would be more powerful than the pawn formation I have now .) 15 . Bxe4 dxe4 16 . Ng5 Bxe5 17 . fxe5 Nxe5 18 . Qh5 ( 18 . dxe5 Qd1 + 19 . Kf2 Ba6 20 . c4 Bxc4 21 . Bd2 Qxa1 and checkmate is imminent .) 18 ... Ng6 19 . Nxe6 ( Good move .) 19 ... fxe6 20 . Qxg6 Qf6 ( Forcing the queen exchange .) 21 . Qxf6 Rxf6 ( Now his rook on g3 is useless and inactive .) 22 . Bd2 Raf8 23 . Rd1 ( 23 . c4 was better .) 23 ... Ba6 24 . c4 ( Forced , otherwise he would lose his bishop . 24 . h3 Rf1 + 25 . Rxf1 Rxf1 + 26 . Kh2 Rf2 27 . Bc1 Rc2 ) 24 ... Bxc4 ( Now I am winning by material .) 25 . h3 Rf1 + 26 . Rxf1 Rxf1 + 27 . Kh2 Bxa2 ( Another pawn .) 28 . dxc5 bxc5 29 . Bc3 Rf7 30 . Rg4 Bd5 31 .
