1. e3
Not very aggressive

 
1... d5 2. d3 e5
Great first two moves

 
3. f4 Qf6
Might have looked at Nc6,Nd7 or exf. The queen is out a little early and could become a target. But it's not a terrible move

 
4. Nf3 exf4 5. exf4 Bc5
Looks like a good move but as you soon see white builds his pawn center while your bishop dances. Maybe Bd6 was better

 
6. d4 Bb4+ 7. c3 Ba5 8. Qa4+ c6
A blunder. Many times when the queen does this double attack with check, the knight can go to c6 and protect the attacked piece at either a5 or b4, this is one of those times. Or if the knight Itself is attacked it can go to c6 and block the check.

 
9. Qxa5 Qe6+ 10. Ne5
A blunder. f6 and the knight will be lost for a pawn.

 
10... b6 11. Qa3 Nd7
f6 needs to be played here.White plays Kf2 or Kd1 and the pin is broken.

 
12. Bd3
White gives you one more chance

 
12... f6
There we go

 
13. f5 Qe7 14. O-O

 
14... fxe5
Also to be considered is QxQ giving him isolated doubled rook pawns.It's not bad to trade since material is even again.

 
15. Re1 Qh4
e5 isn't bad either

 
16. g3 Qh5 17. dxe5 Ne7 18. g4
Oops

 
18... Qxg4+
correct

 
19. Kf2
Nc5 attacks the bishop and frees yours to attack f5.

 
19... Qh4+ 20. Kg2
Another blunder

 
20... Qxe1
Taking advantage of it again, sometimes you just play solid and notice your opponent's mistakes and all of a sudden you've won

 
21. Bg5 c5
Good move as QxNe7 is mate. Also is Qxe5

 
22. f6 h6
Lots of stuff going on over there now, got to be careful.Not a bad move though. You also have Qxe5, if then fxNe7 you have QxB, if fxg you still play QxB with check then pick up the pawn next move.

 
23. Bg6+ Nxg6 24. Qb3
Not sure what he's thinking. fxg Rg8 Bxh6 I would done
