1. e4 
 | 
Standard open-game Opening for white | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
1... c6 2. Nf3 d5 3. e5 
 | 
White pushs with intent of staking more space in the center, baring in mind the risk of over-extension. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
3... g6 4. d4 Bg7 5. Bf4 Qb6 6. b3 Bg4 7. c3 
 | 
Continuing to uphold the center. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
7... c5 
 | 
black naturally aims to undermine it. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
8. Be2 cxd4 9. Qxd4 
 | 
white offers to exchange queens early in hopes of leaving  the middle game to whomever is superior in thier minor piece placement . | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
9... Qc6 
 | 
declined. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
10. h3 Bf5 11. a4 
 | 
attempting to claim more space on the queenside relegating castling to lower priority. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
11... a6 12. b4 Bc2 
 | 
white didn't expect a double attack on a4, but it proved escapable anyways. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
13. b5 Qe6 14. Qd2 Be4 15. Nd4 Qd7 16. f3 Bxb1 17. Rxb1 e6 18. O-O 
 | 
Finally castling as a rook move, inorder to double up the rooks on the queenside. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
18... Qc7 19. b6 
 | 
still pushing | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
19... Qc5 20. Kh1 
 | 
relieving the knight pin immediately. (though in hindshight, 20. Be3 may have been worth hanging the e5 pawn in exchange for the tempo & initiative.) | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
20... Nd7 21. Be3 
 | 
Not caring too much for the e5 pawn compared to protecting the queenside advantage and the chance to attack the queen. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
21... Bxe5 22. Nxe6 
 | 
! and this where white expected a great combination of possible attacks, with something along the lines of 22. ... Bxc3 23. Bxc5 Bxd2 24. Nc7  Kd8 25. Nxa8 Nxc5 26. Rf-d1 Bf4 27. Rxd5  Nd7 28. Rb4 Ng-f6 29. Rxd7  Nxd7 30. Rxf4 Ke7 31. Nc7 Nxb6 32. a5 and white would come out ahead.
 | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
22... Qe7 
 | 
But trading queens was once again declined. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
23. Nc7+ Bxc7 24. bxc7 b6 25. Rfe1 
 | 
preparing to pin the queen from atleast 2 moves away. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
25... Rc8 26. Bxa6 Qd6 
 | 
Black sees it, but can't stop it with movement of the queen alone. 26... Ne5 would have fared better. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
27. Bc5+ 
 | 
Discovered check and the queen the falls! Black resigns. |
