1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Bc4
|
Going into the Scotch Gambit. This is my first time playing this opening. Haven't really had much preparation with it as you can tell shortly. |

|
| |
|
|
4... Nf6 5. Nxd4 Nxe4 6. Qe2 Nxd4 7. Qxe4+ Ne6 8. O-O
|
I gave a pawn I have enough lead in development for compensation. I quietly squeeze Black's position in the opening from here on. |

|
| |
|
|
8... Bd6 9. Nc3 O-O 10. Bd3 g6 11. Bh6 Re8 12. Rfe1 c6
|
I honestly don't know if this move had a point. I kind of blinked and thought about 10 minutes as to what his intentions were. |

|
| |
|
|
13. h4
|
Expanding on the Kingside where i have a pieces majority and a decisive attack. |

|
| |
|
|
13... Bf8 14. Bxf8 Kxf8 15. h5 Ng5 16. Qb4+ Kg8 17. hxg6 hxg6 18. Ne4 Nxe4 19. Bxe4 d5 20. Rad1
|
Developing my last piece and making it very active! I was very proud of this seemingly obvious move. |

|
| |
|
|
20... Bf5 21. Bxf5 Rxe1+ 22. Rxe1 gxf5 23. g3
|
This was exactly the type of position I was dreaming of right out of the Opening stage. I know that I can totally dominate this position. |

|
| |
|
|
23... b5 24. Kg2
|
Preparing to brink the Rook to the h-file. |

|
| |
|
|
24... a5 25. Qd4
|
Crowning my entire strategy of my Kingside attack. |

|
| |
|
|
25... Qd7
|
Completely losing sight of what my intentions were. Thus my next move was a pretty decisive blow. |

|
| |
|
|
26. Rh1 f6
|
Desperation. Black is lost here and defense would have been difficult. |

|
| |
|
|
27. Qxf6 Qg7 28. Qe6+ Qf7
|
A fatal mistake. Black completely missed White's tactical threats. |

|
| |
|
|
29. Rh8+
|
Now to deliver the fatal blow. Black resigned in view of:
29...Kxh8 30. Qxf7
29...Kg7 30. Qh6# |
