1. e3
My old start out.

 
1... e5
Expected e6 but o well.

 
2. Qh5
Move queen out for 2 possible moves: 4-move-checkmate OR black g6 then take pond, check him, and take rook.

 
2... Nh6
Black doesnt do what I was hoping for.

 
3. d3 Bd6
Allows development and protects e5.

 
4. e4
Allows development and stops e5 pond from moving foward.

 
4... Nc6 5. Bxh6
Takes knight and doubles the pond.

 
5... gxh6 6. Qxh6 Bb4+ 7. c3
A simple block but think I would have been better moving my knight to c3 or d2.

 
7... Ba5 8. b4
Pressuring a5.

 
8... Bb6 9. b5 Na5 10. Nd2
Somethings I froget what I was doing.

 
10... c5 11. O-O-O
Queen side castle, although I think it would have been better to do king side castle because its more protected.

 
11... d6 12. Nc4
Forking bishop and knight,

 
12... Nxc4 13. dxc4
Doubling my pawns and capturing the knight. I guess it wasnt such a brilliant idea.

 
13... Bg4
Threatning rd1

 
14. Qg7
Forking the rook at h8 and bishop at g4.

 
14... Rf8
I would have took the rook with my bishop but instead he messes up his king-side castling.

 
15. Qxg4 f6
Allowing small development of rf8 but blocking off the queen.

 
16. Qe6+ Qe7
Blocks check with queen but messing up all his castling as well.

 
17. Qxe7+ Kxe7 18. h4
Allows development... I think thats what I was doing...

 
18... Ba5
Threatning c3.
