1. e4 e5 2. Bc4
there is an unwritten rule (with almost no exceptions) to develop knights before bishops

 
2... Nf6 3. d3 Nc6 4. a3 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Qf3 Nd4 7. Qd1 Bg4 8. f3 Be6 9. Bxd5 Qxd5 10. Nc3 Qc6 11. Nge2 Bc5 12. Ne4
12. ... Nxc2?! looks tempting with 13. Qxc2 Bf2 but after 14. Kd1 black loses a piece (14. Kxf2? of course loses the queen)

 
12... O-O-O 13. Nxc5 Qxc5 14. Be3
a total blunder, allows black to play 14. ... Nxc2

 
14... Nxc2+ 15. Kd2
The worst place for the king, as he will be exposed to a crushing attack by black. However 15.Kf1 loses the queen to Nxe3 and 15. Kf2 is met with ... Qxe3 15. Kf1 Nxa1 and white is lost in any case.

 
15... Rxd3+
a nice move by black 16. Kxd3? leads to ... Bf5 17. Kd2 Qxe3 mate

 
16. Kxd3
missed the mate in two, however 16. Kc1 leads soon to a mate as well

 
16... Bf5+
