1. e4 e6
french opening

 
2. d4 d5 3. e5
advance variation

 
3... c5
c5 is the only way for black to create an attack on queenside, now that the kingside is closed (with e5) and controlled by white.

 
4. c4
4. c4 is a major opening error. from this point on white loose. you could answer c3 or better Kf3.

 
4... dxc4
cxd was also possible and consist in advantage for black

 
5. Bxc4 Nc6 6. Bb5
Bb5 is not good. it is agaist the rule (not to move two times a piece in the opening phase). better was knight f3 developing pieces (the only right work during opening phase)

 
6... cxd4 7. Nf3
now is too late there is Qa5 which check your king and attack your bishop. better is Q a4 which avoids any check.

 
7... Qa5+ 8. Qd2 Qxb5
from now on the match is losen

 
9. Nxd4 Qxe5+ 10. Qe2 Qxd4 11. Nc3 Bb4 12. O-O Bxc3 13. bxc3 Qxc3 14. Bb2 Nd4 15. Qxe6+ Bxe6 16. Bxc3 Ne2+ 17. Kh1 Nxc3 18. Rfe1 Nf6
