1. Nf3 d5 2. d4 Bf5 3. Nc3 c6 4. Bf4 Nf6 5. Ne5 Nbd7
Up to this point these are just standard opening moves.

 
6. Nxd7 Qxd7 7. f3 e6 8. e4
the first real mistake of the game, black can now force the win of a pawn

 
8... dxe4 9. Be5
another bad move by white, this allows black to further develop his pieces towards the center

 
9... Nd5 10. fxe4
with this move black can go up a pawn and make whites pawns awkward

 
10... Nxc3 11. bxc3 Bxe4 12. Qe2 Bg6 13. g3
the only real problem black has is moving his king into saftey

 
13... f6 14. Bf4 Bd6 15. Bh3 Bf7 16. O-O
white allows the trade of bishops which should be avoided, because he is down material

 
16... Bxf4 17. Rxf4 O-O-O
black finally moves his king to safety but has to survive one last assult

 
18. Rd1 Rhe8 19. d5 cxd5 20. c4 Qc6 21. cxd5 Rxd5 22. Bg2
black had already seen this move and saw that there was a defense for it with the inbetween move.

 
22... Rxd1+ 23. Qxd1 Qc7 24. Rb4
here white has dropped an entire rook and can resign with a clear concius but continues to plot on in a hopeless situation

 
24... Qc5+ 25. Rd4 e5 26. Qf3
white becomes the victim of a relntless assult after this move

 
26... Qxd4+ 27. Kf1 Bc4+ 28. Ke1 Qg1+ 29. Kd2 Rd8+ 30. Kc3 Qd4+
white resigns here because there is no way to prevent the loss of his queen
