1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f6
This is a very bad move because of the exposed kingside. Why not play nc6?

 
3. Bc4 Bc5
I was always taught knights before bishops but not everyone was.

 
4. O-O d6 5. Nc3 Bg4 6. h3
Pretty normal stuff

 
6... Bxf3 7. Qxf3 Ne7
Another reason why f6 is a bad move

 
8. d3 Nbc6 9. Bh6
This may seem weird to you. That is because it is a very bad move at first sight but analyse deeper. Because of the weak f pawn it's a interesting move.

 
9... gxh6 10. Qh5+ Ng6 11. Qxh6 Qe7
Ohh bad move i'm going to kick it with the knight straight away

 
12. Nd5 Qd8 13. Qg7 Bd4
Very bad move. My opponent has analysed nothing at all

 
14. Nxf6+ Qxf6
The only move

 
15. Qxf6 Rf8 16. Qg7 O-O-O 17. Be6+
Getting my bishop in on the action

 
17... Kb8 18. Qxh7 Nce7 19. c3 Rfh8 20. Qg7 Bc5 21. b4
From here it's all over. Once the pawns hit his castled position he's as good as dead.

 
21... Bb6 22. Bf7 Rdf8
?surely rd-g8 was better?

 
23. Bxg6 Nxg6 24. Qxg6 Rhg8 25. Qh7 c6 26. Rab1 Bd8
! Drat. The last two moves were made to protect c7

 
27. b5 c5 28. b6 a6
My pawn is on the 6th rank! he should have taken it

 
29. Rb3 Bf6
??? What?? This must mean he's putting all his trust in his b pawn. To bigger job for a measly pawn

 
30. Qc7+ Ka8 31. Ra3 Rg7
This is brilliant even if i say so myself. I'm very good at puzzles, but rarely get an oppurtunity to put them into practice

 
32. Rxa6+ bxa6 33. b7+
Black resigns because 33.b7 ka7 34.b8=Q#
