This was a game between me and one of my friends.Time control was 1 minute per move.
1. e4
The most logical and used move.

 
1... c5
This follows the Sicilian defence (may be the best answer to 1.e4).

 
2. Nf3 d6
which may lead to Najdorf variation or Dragon variation.

 
3. d4
White's normal reply to Black's second move.

 
3... Na6
3....Na6?I really don't know the aim of this move.

 
4. Bxa6 bxa6
bxa6??I expected 4....Qa5+ then 5....Qxa6.

 
5. dxc5 dxc5
I also expected 5....Qa5+ then 6....Qxc5.

 
6. Qxd8+ Kxd8 7. O-O
Placing the white king in a safe position and helps the rock to dominate the d-file.

 
7... e6 8. Ne5
threatening 9.Nxf7 forking the king and rock.

 
8... Ke8 9. Rd1 Bb7
developping and threaten 10....Bxe4.

 
10. Nc3
developping and protecting e4.

 
10... Nf6 11. f3 a5
11....a5??? That will lead to the dangerous 12.Nb5.

 
12. Nb5 Nxe4
12....Nxe4??

 
13. fxe4 Bxe4
now it is mate in three.

 
14. Nc7+ Ke7
forced.

 
15. Bg5+ f6
Again forced.

 
16. Rd7#
