1. e4
Who Needs Queens Anyway? Another example of planning ahead and forgetting to check at each step of the way.

 
1... e5 2. Nf3 Qf6 3. Nc3 h6 4. Nd5 Qd8 5. Bc4 Ne7 6. d3 Nxd5 7. Bxd5 c6 8. Bb3 f6 9. d4 Qa5+ 10. Bd2 Bb4
Despite the attack very confident at this point.

 
11. c3 Bd6 12. dxe5 fxe5
Probably should have used to bishop to counter-take.

 
13. O-O h5 14. Ng5
Just exploring, no real plan in mind. Hoping for an exposed on the queen, but got to time it right.

 
14... Rf8 15. Qxh5+ Kd8 16. Rad1
Protecting the potential exposed attack on the queen.

 
16... Be7 17. c4 Qc5 18. Bc3 d6 19. a3
Can't rem why I did that, must have been a reason. Well actually with me there may well not have been.

 
19... Bxg5 20. Qxg5+ Kc7 21. Qe7+
Oooh lovely, bishop in the way or king moves and I snaffle the rook yeah?

 
21... Nd7
Ok, so its the knight I'll still snaffle the rook right?

 
22. Qxf8 Nxf8
No. Ah. Oops. Now that wasn't part of the plan.

 
23. Bb4
Lets harass and see what happens.

 
23... Qb6
I'm such a lucky Panda. When I check with my next move the king is forced onto the d file...

 
24. Bxd6+ Kd8 25. Bc5+
And then I can pull a nasty trick like that on my unfortunate opponent.

 
25... Bd7 26. Bxb6+ axb6 27. f4 Ne6 28. fxe5 c5 29. Rd6 Nc7 30. Rfd1
Now I'm being nasty. Relief always makes me want to maim, kill, slaughter. I'm a kind gentle soul in life. Honest.

 
30... Ke7
Probably e8 would have been better.

 
31. Rd6xd7+ Ke6 32. Rxc7 Rb8 33. Rd6+
Sac the e pawns to grab the b pawns and with a considerable advantage now I felt guilty enough about my somewhat aggressive tendencies to offer a draw. Which my opponent thought long and hard about before accepting *lol* they were probably hoping I'd have another brainfart!
