1. d4
I was searching drunken_rabbit's past game and I noticed this beatiful game and decided to annotate it.

 
1... d5 2. e4
D00 Blackmar Diemer Gambit. This might be called the true Queen's Gambit - the Blackmar-Diemer. Like what the name of the game says

 
2... dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3
This is a typical move of attacking players but considered to be too risky sometime.

 
4... exf3 5. Qxf3
Bringing the queen to the battle.

 
5... c6
Out of Opening Book. Frees Black's pawn at b7 from the pin. Seems to be a very powerful move.

 
6. Be3
Protects the pawn at d4.

 
6... g6
Bishop in fianchetto will be the next move.

 
7. h3 Bg7
Bishop in fianchetto. clearing the way for castle.

 
8. O-O-O Be6
Possible attack on a2.

 
9. Bd3 Nd5 10. Nxd5 Bxd5
Forks white's queen and pawn at a2.

 
11. Qf2 Bxa2
Bishop takes a2 black is ahead two pawns in material and the pressure on white's king is increased.

 
12. b3
Traps black's bishop but black is able to defend that bishop. According to what drunken_rabbit said this moment was the most difficult in the game he had to plan a lot to defend the bishop.

 
12... a5 13. Kb2
Attacks Black's bishop at a2.

 
13... a4 14. Ra1
It was time for white to plan for an attack on black's kingside by Rook f1 but he decided to defend using Ra1.

 
14... axb3 15. cxb3
Not a very good move ends to 15...Qa5 16.Bc4 Bf6 17.Qc2 Qa3 which increases the pressure on white's king.

 
15... Qa5 16. Bc4 O-O 17. Ne2
Both players taking their time improving their positions.

 
17... c5 18. Rhf1 Nc6 19. Nc3
Uh-Oh... This is the key blunder which cost the game ends to 19...cxd4 20.Rxa2 Qxc3 21.Kb1 dxe3 22.Qxf7 Kh8. Kc2 was a much more better move.

 
19... cxd4
Mate thread. Qxc3

 
20. Bxf7+ Kh8 21. Rxa2
Oops! White moves into forced mate. Leads to 21...Qxc3 22.Kb1 dxe3 23.Rc1 Qd3 24.Qc2 Rxa2 25.Qxd3 Rb2 26.Ka1 Ra8 27.Qa6 Rxa6# and checkmate.

 
21... Qxc3+
It seems to be easy for black to see the mate in 6.
