1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 Bb4+ 4. c3 exd4
Probably should have moved the bishop out of danger.

 
5. cxb4 Nxb4
Moving the knight left the pawn unprotected.

 
6. Nxd4 Ne7
By moving the knight (Ne7), black's queen is blocked.

 
7. Bc4
Moving the bishop opened the way to castle for white.

 
7... Ned5
d5 is protected by a pawn and a bishop. White will gladly trade a pawn for a knight.

 
8. exd5 d6 9. O-O Qf6 10. Qe1+
Qe1 forks the king and the knight, gobbling the knight.

 
10... Kd7 11. Qxb4 Qxd4
It was a trade, but since white is ahead, trades are to his advantage.

Ooops. Forgot about the pawn. Gave the queen away.

 
14. gxh3 Re8
The rest of the game is pretty sure for white.
