11. g3
gxh3 is okay, but it opens the line for the rook, so I just played g3.

 
11... Be7
Finally developing.

 
12. dxe5
I take the pawn, and the pawn can't take back since it is pinned.

 
12... Ke6
I think the king is just waiting to be attacked.

13. Qd5+
This bold queen move makes the king retreat.

 
13... Kd7 14. exd6
Note if Bxd6 then e5! wins the bishop.

 
14... Bxd6
Unfortunately, he doesn't see this.

15... Ke8
The king retreats - probably the safest move.

 
16. Qxd6
So I take the bishop.

 
16... Ra7
This leaves the knight undefended - I could have gobbled it up, but I was more focused on a mate.

17. Nd5
This subtle move threatens 18. Nc7#.

 
17... Nd7
I think this move was just to save the knight, but this annoyingly prevents mate, since the king as d8 as a flight square -

18. Bg5
- so I take it away.

 
18... Ndf6
An outright blunder - first of all, the pawn could take it, and, though I am not criticising my opponent, this falls for Nc7#. Which I gladly played.
