1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4
I never liked the Italian style...

 
3... Bc5 4. c3
the closed Italian system. I think it gives no advantage to white.

4... Nf6 5. d3 a6 6. O-O O-O 7. d4
in my opinion, it weakeness the center. white will be left with the e5 pawn in the middle of the board with not so much defenders on it while black will concentrate his pressure towards it.

 
7... Ba7 8. dxe5 Nxe4
black has 3 developed pieces while white only two. the e5 pawn is kinda weak.

 
9. Bd5 Nc5 10. Bg5
white try to push black. its not a real attack. black will manage soon.

 
10... Ne7 11. Re1 Ne6
and the canter is closed...

12. Bh4 Qe8
the e7 knight can move now.

 
13. Be4
no choice. the white bishop is better than the black knight. also, h7 seems a bit weak.

 
13... Nc5
still, want the exchange.

 
14. Bc2 Ng6
the h4 bishop has to find a better place. also, e5 is now threatened twice.

 
15. Bg3 Ne6
now the g3 bishop is kind of stupid. it is really useless. black only needs to find a solution for the c8 bishop.

 
16. Nbd2 Qe7
wants d6...

 
17. Ne4 f5
!! strange but seems to be very strong. after white will take the pawn (e.p.) and black will take with the g pawn, black's d pawn will be a very strong one. also, the c8 bishop will be free and the g file will be a big problem for white.

 
18. exf6 e.p.
if not, 18...f4! and no bishop...

 
18... gxf6 19. Ned2 f5
wants f4!

 
20. h3
a must

20... Qg7
taking over the g file.

 
21. Bb3
white tries to find a better place for his bishop, apperantly, after Kh8 it is also useless there.

 
21... Kh8 22. Bxe6 f4
! obviously black has the advantage. f4 was a fine move which makes the difference.

 
23. Bh2 dxe6 24. Qe2 e5
wants h3...
