1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6
my favourite defence to knight f3

 
3. Bb5
wanting to keep my kings pawn i played d3

 
3... d6 4. d4 Bd7
releasing the pin

 
5. Nc3 Nf6
developing our minor pieces...

 
6. Bg5
pinning my other knight

 
6... h6
wanting to make the bishop retreat, i played this move

 
7. Bh4 Be7
releasing the pin

 
8. dxe5 Nxe5
perhaps i should have played d3 e4,

 
9. O-O
castling surprised me because i thought that he might take my knight on e4

 
9... c6
releasing the pin on my bishop...

 
10. Be2 Nxe4
i took this pawn to take his bishop on h4 while gaining a centre pawn

 
11. Nxe4 Nxf3+
i played this move just to exchange pieces a little

 
12. Bxf3 Bxh4
the bishop is taken

 
13. Nxd6+
a good move which i seemed to have overlooked, this now prevents me from castling

 
13... Kf8 14. Nxb7
again, a good move, now i am behind on material and position

 
14... Qc7 15. Nc5 Bf5 16. Re1 Qb6
i played this move in the hope of him moving his knight so i could fork his king and rook with my bishop

 
17. Qd6+
forcing me to play king g8

 
17... Kg8 18. Bxc6
threatening the rook on a8 while setting up re1-e8

 
18... Rc8
threatening the bishop on c3

 
19. Qe5 Rxc6
i took the bishop because the next move i can take his knight
