I liked this game because as black I was able to see he benefits of my opening strategy.
1. d4
the opening was uneventful at first

 
1... d5 2. e3 e6 3. Bb5+
White brings his bishop out, and I have a theory..if I can get him to move his oening pieces twice, I gain time

 
3... c6 4. Ba4
like that...leaving me more developed

 
4... g6
I continue my opening strategy

 
5. e4
at this stage, I have an edge in development, white is further ahead in space

 
5... Nh6 6. Nc3 Bg7 7. Nf3 Na6 8. Bf4 O-O 9. Ng5
at this stage, I am feeling a little penned in, and white is further ahead in development and controls much more space

 
9... e5
So the way to repel an attack on the periphery is to launch an attack in the center

 
10. dxe5
this costs me a pawn

 
10... Bg4 11. exd5
whites fatal move - a pawn and a bishop for a queen

 
11... Bxd1
thus

 
12. Kxd1
now ahead 4 points, I push on

 
12... Re8
rook to an open rank

 
13. e6
This is dangerous - white is making ground with his pawns while I languish in defence

 
13... fxe6
End it I say

 
14. Nce4 Qxd5+
The beginning of the end for white

 
15. Nd2
white retreats and opens the door for me to gain a couple of pieces and further weaken him

 
15... Bxb2
I go on the offensive first for a pawn

 
16. Rb1 Qd4
then for his bishops

 
17. Ngf3
an attempt at defense

 
17... Qxf4
in vein
