1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 { He chooses to play Philidor's defence } 3.Nc3 f6 4.Bc4 Bg4 {I play Bc4 to offend f7, a weak square. He plays Bg4 to pin my knight} 5.d3 Bxf3 {I complete my pawn structure, also adding defence to my otherwise hanging Bishop(Is it still "hanging" if it's not under attack?). He unprovokedly exchanges bishop for knight of f3. I suppose he wanted to double my pawns on the f file.} 6.Qxf3 Ne7 {I choose to take with my Queen to avoid doubling the pawns and to develop it.} 7.Bg5 fxg5 {I sacrifice my Bishop for the initiative. I'm still not sure whether this was sound, but I don't think anyone can deny that it worked here.} 8.Qf7+ Kd7 9.Qe6+ Kc6 {He goes to c6 instead of back to e8. I suppose he wanted to avoid threefold repetition, which he could have thought to be my aim given that I was 3 points down materially} 10.Nb5 b6 11.d4 Na6 {I play d4, hoping for 11. ... exd4 12. Nxd4+ Kc5. I would then have Qd5# waiting should I find a way to move his e7 Knight. He doesn't go for it. I feel he should have brought the Knight to d7 instead.} 12.d5+ Kb7 13.O-O-O Ng6 14.Qh3 Nf4 {I want to bring my Queen to the new centre of action on the Queen side.} 15.Qc3 Nxg2 16.Bf1 Nf4 17.Qc6+ Kb8 {I want to force his King to b8 in view of an upcoming move. If he opts instead to move to c8, I reply Qxa8+} 18.Nd4 Nb4 19.Qa4 c5 20.Nc6+ Kc7 {This is why I wanted his King on b8. The King and Queen are now forked. After taking the Queen my material disadvantage is repaired.} 21.Nxd8 Rxd8 22.c3 Nbd3+ {I want to move his Knight so that I can play Qc6+ with impunity} 23.Bxd3 Nxd3+ 24.Rxd3 a5 25.Qc6+ Kb8 26.Qxb6+ Kc8 27.c4 Kd7 28.Rf3 Be7 {I play Rf3 to play Rf7+ next move, a position from which mating should be easy. He plays Be7, blocking the Rook check, but leaving him open to...} 29.Qc6#
