1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. a3
I do not know much of Queen's gambit, but I didn't understood this move.

 
3... Nf6 4. Nc3 Bd6 5. e3
Both are simply developing their peices.

5... O-O 6. Nf3 Re8
This rook will help in moving the e pawn tio e5. Later or sooner the center is going to open, so this rook should help.

 
7. Ne5
A nice move. Taking it immediately would not help as I would be exchanging my active bishop for his knight and the pawn at e5 would be very powerful after white moves f4.

 
7... Nbd7
An attempt to seige the center. The knight will either go back in which case I can break open the center with c5 or c6 then e5, or the f4 pawn will come ahead.

 
8. f4 Ne4
I am taking the space left behind by the white, and also f6 can come to push back the knight at e5

 
9. Nxe4 dxe4 10. Be2
White is trying to secure his king by castling.

 
10... Qh4+
Trying to weaken the kingside to form an attack.

 
11. g3 Qh3 12. Bf1 Qh6 13. Bg2 f6
Here I sacrificed my pawn i nan attempt to seige the centerand activate my peices.

 
14. Nxd7
The sacrifice accepted.

 
14... Bxd7 15. Bxe4 e5
The center is attacked.

 
16. Bd5+ Kh8 17. fxe5 fxe5 18. O-O c6 19. Bg2 e4
Though the pawn at e4 is isolated, but still it is very useful in trapping both bishops. It also creates a partition between the king and the queen side, in which case my bishops are very instrumental in forming an attack.

 
20. Qc2 Qg6 21. Bd2 c5
Trying to open the Queen side a bit to make my rooks active. Note that right now b5 would not be good as white can simply reply c5, completely lokcing the queen side

 
22. dxc5 Bxc5 23. Rf4 Bc6 24. b4 Bd6 25. Rff1 Rac8 26. b5
This was a blunder done.

 
26... Bxb5 27. Rfb1
Now there was no way to protect the c pawn. So this tries to seige my a7,b7 pawns.

 
27... Bxc4 28. Qa4
both of my queen side pawn will now fall apart

 
28... Be2
right now there is only a white bishop to defend the king. Every other peice is far away in the Queen side. the wall at e4 and e3 pawn seperates the two parts very effectively.

 
29. Rxb7
taking up my pawns

 
29... Bf3 30. Rc1 Bxg3
If white replies by 31 gxg3 Qxg3. There is then no way the mate can be prevented.

 
31. Bxf3
The only possibility
