1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bc4 Nc6
This game was a pure test for myself and a lot of risks on my part considering my opponents rating vs mine. I was playing white

 
4. Nf3
Knight to F3 for white

 
4... Nxe4
Black captures. White is down in material. White assumed, Black is setting up his bishop to C5.

 
5. Bxf7+
White could of captured black's pawn on E5 however Black could just recapture with his Knight on C6. White could of further developed his bishop on C1 however any chance to win the game, White chose to sacrifice the bishop to prevent black from castling kingside.

 
5... Kxf7 6. Nxe5+
Now the capture of the black pawn makes better sense as it will free up the white queen and for a check.

 
6... Nxe5 7. Qh5+
Notice white is down in a lot of material but from here on in but with the check to the black king white can make up the difference

 
7... Ng6 8. Nxe4
White blocks the check by moving Black night to F6 however the black night is now pinned. White knight responds and captures black knight on E4

12... Bd6 13. f5 Bxg3
White continues the push with pawn to F5 and scarifies the White Knight. Black responds with bishop taking white knight on G3 (Note White is still down plenty of material)

 
14. Qxg6+ Kg8
White responds with check to black king. Black King retreats.

 
15. f6 Qd7
White continues the pawn push. Black moves Queen to D7

16. Qxg3 g5
White takes black bishop on g3. Black pawn moves to g5. Note white is now +1

 
17. d4 Kf7
Black King moves to block white pawn progression

 
18. Bd2 a5
White advances bishop to D2

 
19. Rae1 Re8
Black looking to trade rooks.

 
20. Re7+
Now here is where things get interesting and in my view the reason why black being a lot higher rated player than myself lost the game. Rather than swap rooks automatically, white places the white rook on E7 forcing black to take and auto checking the king after black rook takes white rook

20... Rxe7 21. fxe7+
plan worked. I leave the comments for the rest of the game out but I would appreciate any comments

 
21... Kxe7 22. Re1+ Kf6 23. Rf1+ Kg6 24. Qd3+ Kg7 25. Qf3 c6 26. Qf8+
Two conditional moves where set securing a check mate.
