1. e4
This one is my favorite game.

 
1... e5 2. Nf3 d5 3. exd5 Qxd5 4. Nc3
my basic opening.

 
4... Qe6 5. d4 e4 6. Ne5 Bb4 7. Bc4 Qf5 8. Nxf7
Oppps.

 
8... Be6 9. Bxe6 Bxc3+ 10. bxc3 Qxe6
revenge for my mistake. But now I am down a rook.

 
11. Nxh8 Ne7 12. O-O Nbc6 13. Re1 O-O-O 14. f3
a pawn for a knight OK.

 
14... Rxh8 15. Rxe4 Qf7 16. Ba3
Now it turns serious.

 
16... Nd5 17. Qd3 Nf6
At this time I am trying to cut down some of his power pieces.

 
18. Re2 Nd5 19. Re4 Nf6 20. Ree1 Rd8 21. Rab1 Qxa2 22. Qf5+ Nd7 23. Rb3 g6 24. Qb5 Nb6 25. Bb2 Qa5
Time for a trade. I still have my favorite pieces knights.

 
26. Qxa5 Nxa5 27. Rb5 Nac4 28. Bc1 Rd5 29. Rxd5
Now it is two knights vs. a rook and a bishop.

 
29... Nxd5 30. Re8+ Kd7 31. Rh8 h5 32. Rg8 Nxc3 33. Kf2 Nb5 34. Ke2 Ncd6 35. Kd3 Nf5 36. c3 Ne7 37. Rg7
At this time it is survival. And thoughts of resigning.

 
37... Nd6 38. Bg5 Ndc8 39. Rh7 b6 40. c4 c6 41. h3
Now I am thinking of promoting a pawn.

 
41... a5 42. Kc3 b5 43. cxb5 cxb5 44. Rg7 Ke6 45. g4 Nd5+
Now down to business. I now think I can pull this off.

 
46. Kb3 a4+ 47. Ka3 Ncb6 48. Rxg6+ Kf7 49. gxh5 Nc4+ 50. Ka2
It is a matter of time now.

 
50... b4 51. Rc6 b3+ 52. Ka1 b2+ 53. Kb1 Nc3+ 54. Kc2 b1=Q+ 55. Kxc3 Qb3#
After all said a done we both made major mistakes. But if my opponent have not stalled on some of his moves this would have been a loss for me.
