1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Qf6
strange move...

 
4. Nc3 Bd6 5. Nd5 Qg6 6. O-O Nge7
I'm not sure why he did'nt play Qxe4.

 
7. Nc3 b6 8. Re1 a5 9. d4 O-O 10. Bxc6 Nxc6 11. dxe5 Nxe5 12. Nd5 Ng4 13. e5 Bc5 14. Be3 Nxe3 15. Rxe3
This was supposed to be a trap. Bxe3 leads to Ne7 capturing the queen, and securing the win.

 
15... c6 16. Nh4
The move i should have played was Nf4, which saves the knight and the rook from getting captured, but since i did not observe well the position, i saw the worst move and played it.

 
16... Qg5 17. Nf3
Attacking the queen to make my oponent waste time...

 
17... Qh6 18. Re4
I prefered to lose a knight because i was planing an attack on the king after that by using the rook.

 
18... cxd5 19. Rh4 Qg6 20. Qxd5
He forgot to save the pawn, which could have meant the difference between wining or losing.

 
20... Ra7
Saved the rook.

 
21. Qc4 Ba6 22. Qf4 f6 23. Rg4 Qxc2
I think this is a bad move, since it leaves his king wide open for an attack.

 
24. Qh6
Threatening mate at g7.

 
24... Rf7
Defending mate...

 
25. exf6 Qxf2+ 26. Kh1 Be3
The final mistake, he should have played something like d6, which should have protected his king for a longer period of time. I think.

 
27. Rxg7+
The beginning of the end.....

 
27... Kf8 28. Rxh7+
A move which leads to a beautiful forced mate. The variations are Bxh6, followed by Rh8#, and the one he played.

 
28... Ke8 29. Rh8+
Checkmate after black moves Rf8, I would have played Qxf8# or Rxf8#.
