1. Nf3
I'm playing white, and this is my preferred opening at present.

 
1... d5
This is the standard response

 
2. c4
Rather than D4, this immediately threatens to disrupt his centre.

 
2... dxc4 3. e3 b5
He seems keen to hold onto his slim material advantage.

 
4. b3 cxb3 5. Bxb5+
No need to worry about the other pawn yet.

 
5... c6 6. Bc4 bxa2 7. Nc3
There's no way he can save the pawn really, so there's no hurry to take it.

 
7... Nf6 8. Qb3
Attacking f7.

 
8... e6 9. Rxa2 Qc7 10. O-O Nbd7
I was hoping he'd do this as he's weakened his e pawn.

 
11. Ng5
I need back-up for my attack.

 
11... h6
I could have backed off here, but thought it was worth going all out.

 
12. Bxe6 fxe6
He should have taken the knight there, now he's in trouble.

 
13. Qxe6+ Be7
King d8 loses, but then so does this!

 
14. Qf7+ Kd8 15. Ne6#
very satisfying.
