Fairly standard opening so far

 
3. Nc3 Nf6 4. d4 exd4 5. Nxd4 O-O
Still nothing to write home about.

 
6. Bc4 Nc6 7. Nxc6
I have a pathaloical fear of knight's and will almost always take one.

7... bxc6
especially if it doubles pawns or otherwise weakens opponents structure.

 
8. O-O Be5 9. Bg5
a feeble pin.

 
9... a5
eh ?

 
10. Bxf6
I said I hated knight's didn't I ?

 
10... Qxf6 11. Qd3 Rd8
d7 pawn was well protected by bishop anyway.

 
12. a4 d5 13. exd5 cxd5 14. Nxd5
So it's not really threatening the black queen, and the bxd5 would have at least threatened the a rook

 
14... Qh6
uh oh..Qh2 dead :o(

 
15. Ne7+
but wait!

 
15... Kh8 16. Qxd8#
hehehe... of course that was the plan all along :0)) (I wish!!)
