Questionable opening move (e6) by black.

Developing knight and getting ready to defend if he takes my pawn |

he takes pawn and I recapture. I now have strong control of center with knights and a big lead in development, i like how this game is going thus far. d4 or developing a knight probably would have been a better move for him. |

Push d4 to control center and reposition knight on kingside as he develops his knight . He will have a hard time dealing with those knights if he castles kingside which is what it seems like he will do. |

He castles kingside which i think was a mistake at this point. I like my position at this point, light squared bishop is in good position, pawn chain on queen side is really limited squares for his knight and dark squared bishop |

Questionable move of rook by him, not an open file and won't be anytime soon, a pointless move if you ask me. I castle kingside, kind looks very safe and now can move rook to semi-open e file. |

not really worried about his knight on d5 or bishop on f6, they both really have no good squares to move to. I move rook to open e file and knight to h5. Usually knight on the rim is brim but in this case I it gave me a good attacking square with possibility of bishop trade which he should definitely avoid. Nxf6..gxf6 wrecks kingside defense and Nxf6...Qxf6 followed by Bg5! wins his queen |

He smartly moves his bishop and I reposition my queen behind light squared bishop to ready for kingside attack. Bishops on long open diagonals bearing down on his king will prove very hard to defend i think. Really outplaying him up until this point |

12... g6 13. Ne5 Bg5

he defends against light squared bishop with g6, I allow him to take knight on h5 if he wants, would prove very bad for him eventually I think and he knows this. I bring my other knight to e5 putting a lot of pressure on g5, possible sacrifice coming? Bishop to g5 for him accomplishes nothing for him, I have no reason to trade. Should have traded knight on e5 |

I see it! Knight sacrifice will lead to very good mating chances. Attempted bishop sacrifice coming next, if he bites mate will follow |

15. Bxg6 Bxc1
|
he sees my plan and doesnt bite on the bishop, ....fxg6 would have been followed by Qxg6+ then mate next move. He decides to pointlessly trade bishops. No need for me to take bishop with such a strong attack, I opt to continue attacking. |

Will he squirm away? Was the knight sacrifice a blunder. He smartly decides not take bishop which would have led to mate. Now the question is do i trade off pieces and retake a material lead or continue the attack and attempt to mate? |

Continue taking pawns with bishop and putting him in check. He now has no king side defense at all, but can I mate him? |

18... Kd6

if i move bishop he mates with Rxe1# so it seems bishop is a goner. Should I cease attack and grab his dark squared bishop? He has no defense on king but his material advantage will still prove hard to overcome if i let him slip away....and then I see the mate! |

19. Ng7 Rxe6

He finally bites on one of my attempted sacrifices. Mate next move for him if I don't take rook on e6. I have something up my sleeve though.... |

Nf5#! Beautiful mate involving three pieces. One of my best games and first times I successfully sacrificed a piece that lead to a mate. Hope you enjoyed my annotation. |
