Fairly standered openings from both sides. |

Not quite sure what he was trying to do with the bishop... but I threatened it anyway. |

|
|
|

He retreated the bishop, this pawn formation is not one of my best, restricting several pieces. |

Bringing the knight into play. |

Putting him under pressure - trying to throw him off balance. |

|
|
|
6. Bd2 Be7
|
Expected defensive response, piece moved to safety. |

|
|
|
7. Bc3 Nh5
|
Knight moved further out - offering knight for bishop. |

|
|
|
8. Bxh8
|
Stupid move. He takes my rook. |

Forcing the bishop away from my back line. |

9... Bd6
|
Moving to target h2, if he castles, I can checkmate with my queen on that square. |

|

|
Moved knight out of the way, looks like he's going to castle, which is exactly what I want. |

|
|
|
10... Qh4
|
Queen moved to threaten h2 - he will have nothing covering it if he castles so my quuen bishop will mate his king. |

|
|
|
11. O-O
|
He castles... |

|
|
|
11... Qxh2#
|
...and the trap is sprung. |
