1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bd3 
 | 
an odd move for a weaker player, Bc4 being the main line, this move weakens his position and eventually leads to terrible consequences | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
3... Bc5 4. O-O d6 5. Nc3 Bg4 6. h3 Bxf3 7. Qxf3 Nd4 8. Qg4 Qf6 
 | 
blunder by me, allows Nd5! | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
9. Nd5 
 | 
! attacks the queen, threatens Nxc7  fork, also threatens Qxg7 winning the rook if Qd8 | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
9... Qg6 
 | 
the lesser of all the evils, loses the rook, but takes his knight out of the game | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
10. Nxc7+ Kd8 11. Nxa8 Qxg4 
 | 
cracks open his castle | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
12. hxg4 Nf6 13. g5 Nh5 14. Bc4 
 | 
terrible move, allows my knights to run wild | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
14... Nxc2 
 | 
pins the pawn on f2 to his king | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
15. Rb1 
 | 
rooks only square | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
15... Ng3 
 | 
he can't take because of the bishop pin | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
16. Rd1 
 | 
again a forced rook move and his king is in trouble | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
16... h6 
 | 
the ultimate poisoned pawn, if he takes Rxh6 checkmate on the h file is forced | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
17. gxh6 
 | 
he takes | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
17... Rxh6 
 | 
game over | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
18. d3 
 | 
weak attack because all of his other pieces are immobilised and his king is completely helpless | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
18... Rh1# 
 | 
even down a full rook, an open file can still dominate |
