1. e4
my prefered opening move. i have read a comment that this a losing move. i don't see how one could ascertain such a conclusion, given there is only one move made, aside from esp.

1... e5 2. Nf3
attacking and developing

 
2... Nc6 3. Bc4 h6
h6 has been played against this opening often, in my own experience. to defend the f7 pawn and a rook Q fork as well as hindering the knights forward movement

 
4. d4
i am looking to open the middle and attack. keeping the king from castling and gaining lead in development. the reason for this opening is to start the battling early

 
4... d6 5. Be3
he hasn't taken the pawn instead he defended his e pawn. i continue to develop. Be3 seems ideal spot can cover much ground from here, is not currently blocking me in and adds support to d4

5... Nf6
developing and attacking e4. i wonder if f5 is better

 
6. Nc3
defend

 
6... Bg4
this move is another reason why Be3 was a prefered move early on

 
7. h3 Bxf3 8. gxf3
i take with pawn to open up g file

 
8... Na5 9. Bb3
i move here cause my king is in good shape in the middle and if he takes i could flank my rook

 
9... exd4
he now takes the pawn but i wonder why after he takes the N out of play

 
10. Bxd4
i capture

 
10... Nxb3 11. axb3 d5 12. Bxf6
i take anticipatinghe takes with Q and Nxd5 threatening the Q and im up a pawn

 
12... Qxf6 13. Nxd5 Qd6 14. c3
defending Qd4

 
14... O-O-O
curious? this gains me a pawn

 
15. Rxa7 Kd7
his caslting only caused him to be shoved back into the middle where i wanted him

 
16. Rxb7
now im up another pawn and threatening Rc7. i continued to take peaces instead of developing more support for attack so there would be less to manuever around and it was not at all dangerous to me

 
16... Rc8
defending c7

 
17. f4
openin up diagonal for queen. also begening pawn atack on his Q

17... Ke8 18. Qg4 Ra8 19. O-O
had to castle now and it is in no way to his advantage to trade queens. also you see c7 is now open for my N and the position is even better than before.
