I'm Antonino, playing as black. |

1. e4
|
The opening is boring until I make a mistake. |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. Nc3 Bc5 4. d3 h6 5. f4
|
Here comes the mistake... |
|
| |
|
|
5... Ng4
|
Not paying enough attention, my knight commits suicide. |
|
| |
|
|
6. Qxg4
|
The Queen begins and attack, backed by the developed white bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
6... g6
|
I'm forced to defend g7. |

8... O-O
|
I castle to protect the pawn and guard the King. |
|
| |
|
|
9. Bxh6
|
White takes a free pawn, attacking the rook that I cannot move, but this is where I turn the game around for a fairly quick checkmate. |

9... Qh4+
|
Knowing that I can't defend the rook, I put White in check and position myself to capture the menacing bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
10. g3
|
With no way to save the bishop. White puts a pawn in the way. |
|
| |
|
|
10... Qxh6
|
Some pressure is taken off of my king, and the rook is saved. |
|
| |
|
|
11. Nd5
|
Seeing no need to protect his king any further, White begins a new attack that I cannot stop. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Nc6
|
I choose to counter attack and simultaneously leave my rook room to escape the knight's predictable next move. |
|
| |
|
|
12. Nxc7
|
White ignores my advance, and takes the pawn. The beginning of the end. |
|
| |
|
|
12... Nd4
|
My knight safely moves to put his queen in check while positioning itself to fork the king and rook unless his queen defends pawn c2. |
|
| |
|
|
13. Qd1
|
With few available options, White's queen goes back home, allowing my Queen to come in to attack. |

White can either surrender his queen to my knight or walk into checkmate by putting his knight in the way. |

|
Unable to part with his Queen, he makes his second to last move. |
