1. e4
This was an online fast game I played a couple days ago. I have the Black pieces

 
1... Nf6
I don't like playing sicilian in short games because I tend to think a lot. Short timed games probably aren't good for my chess. Alekhine defense entices White's pawns to move forward so they will become attackable.

 
2. Nc3
White decides not to overextend his position more and develop a piece instead

 
2... d5
I can open up the centre for easy equality. Could someone give their opinion on if they think this position is equal? Now looking I think maybe I was slightly better, but surely this is still book.

If 3.e5, then 3...Nfd7 is fine for me because 4.d4 c5! turns into a French-type position but where I haven't played the blocking e6 move. If 5.dxc5 then I can go into French with 5...e6 since I will win back a pawn and exchanging a central pawn for flank one usually isn't good.

 
3... Nxd5
Baker likes to play Bg4 here but I don't study his crazy gambit openings

 
4. Nge2
A passive move by White. Taking the knight was probably his best option. Or Ne4 is interesting

 
4... Nc6
Since White blocked his diagonal, I need not fear Bb5, and also if Nxd5 Qxd5 Nc3 Qe5 and I shouldn't have any problems with development I can fianchetto KB

 
5. g3
This move weakens the light squares, and the previous knight move also weakened the light squares...........so.............

 
5... Bg4
I annoyingly place my bishop here threatening to ruin White's kingside castling chances and pinning the knight

 
6. Bg2
Best move

 
6... Nd4
This was my tricky move. All my tactics are revolved around the weak light squares. Both my knights are invinsible. I also have a direct threat of Nxc3 dxc3 Bxe2.

 
7. Bxd5
White takes my invinsible knight, which is a mistake, as his light squares are incredibly weak.

 
7... Qxd5
I love taking advantage of weak squares. Nxd5 results in Nf3 Kf1 Bh3# Always consider which squares you are weakening when you make pawn moves. White has advanced the g and e-pawns, making f3 especially weak.

 
8. O-O
I was hoping White would fall for my mating trick, but I knew I still had an advantage due to my incredible grip on the light squares..... maybe even a a forced mate. White's only ways to get out of mate were d3 or f3, but I still win material.

 
8... Nf3+
The only check to keep the initiative

 
9. Kh1
If Kg2 then Nh4 Kg1 Qg2#.

 
9... Ng5+
White realizes castling into his weak squares was a terrible idea. White may have thought he was safe since any check would leave my queen hanging, but he doesn't have time to take my queen because I have Bf3 Kg1 Nh3# exploiting the weaknesses on h3, g2, and f3.

 
10. f3
If Kg1 then Nh3#, so White tries to hang on as long as possible, but it's clear I have won.

 
10... Bxf3+
Now White is mated because Kg1 Nh3#, and White's continuation also got him mated
