1. e4
He opens Kings Pawn

 
1... e5
I decide to match

 
2. Qh5 Nc6
After he prematurely developed his Queen, I take a standard Indian Defense

 
3. Nf3 g6 4. Qg5 f6 5. Qg3 b6 6. c3 Bh6 7. b3 d6 8. Kd1 Bf4 9. Qh4 h5
This was the move where I felt I had gained the upper hand. His queen is now sufficiently trapped for the time being. Since he spent no time developing other pieces, now I just have to lean a bit.

 
10. g3 g5 11. Nxg5 Bg4+ 12. Nf3 Bxf3+ 13. Ke1 Bg5
I opt to trap his Queen in a single space and plan to take 5 next turn

 
14. Qh3 Bxh1 15. Bb5 Bxe4 16. Qe6+ Nge7 17. Qc4 d5 18. Qe2 a6 19. Bxc6+ Nxc6 20. f3 Bxb1
Since his rook is completely cornered and his bishop bad at the worst, undeveloped at best, it was a trade I felt essential to prevent any defense from mounting.

 
21. Rxb1 d4 22. f4 d3 23. Qe4 Ne7
At this point, my g5 bishop has served its initial purpose and I'm willing to lose it to gain some file leverage

 
24. fxg5 fxg5 25. Qxe5 Rg8 26. Ba3
I saw this coming and was easily stopped

 
26... c5 27. b4 Qd7
At this point I'm planning a Qh3, Rf8, Qf1 attack

 
28. Qe4
This move foils that

 
28... Rf8
I decide that taking the open f file is more important than the a file rook at this point, and plan on defending my king with my knight, which will secure a win

 
29. Qxa8+
This is where mate is gaurunteed

 
29... Nc8 30. bxc5 Qe7+ 31. Kd1 Rf1#
