1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. d4 d6

Blocking development of my dark squared bishop but I (wrongly) felt uncomfortable trading my e-pawn for his d-pawn. White seems to be better here.

5. Bb5
|
Preparing d5 which wins a piece. White has the dynamic advantages (development and initiative) as well as a lead in space.
|

|
5... Bd7 6. Nd5
|
As far as I can tell this move is completely wrong for the position. It does nothing to compliment White's advantages.

Some of the pressure has been relieved from Black's position. Trading pieces when you have less space (as Black does in this position) is generally considered a good thing. Now Black has pressure on White's center and is caught up in development.

White missed 9. d5. Black has no Knights so closing the center would have benefited White and gained a tempo as Black's light squared Bishop would have to move to safety. White's move does nothing but force Black's Queen to a better square (g6) which increases the pressure on e4 and indirectly pins White's Knight to the defense of the Bishop.

9... Qg6 10. O-O
|
Once again I think that 10. d5 would have been better.
|
|
| |
|
|
10... Bxe4 11. Rc1
|
This move knocks White out of the game. Once the White Knight is taken Black will win the Bishop and be up a piece.

11... Bxf3 12. Qxf3 Qxg5 13. dxe5 Be7

Black should have castled to the Queenside.

Trading pieces does nothing but help Black.

18. Qc7 Be5 19. Rcd1 Qc5

As pointed out by 'heinzkat,' this move was a mistake for Black. After 20. Qxc5 ...dxc5 21. Rxe5 Black has lost his material advantage. Black also is now on the defensive as his c5 pawn is under attack. |

20. Qe7 Rfe8
|
Activates the Rook with tempo.
|

21. Qh4 Re6 22. g3

Opens the light squares to Black's Queen. Could be useful later in the game.

22... Rae8 23. Re3 Bf6 24. Rxe6
|
Trading pieces helps Black, so this move must be considered wrong.

Another bad trade. This time White doesn't even get even material on his investment. White wanted an opportunity for a back rank mate but Black controls the e8 square twice and has time to advance the h or g pawn.

Now Black can stop defending the e8 square and go after the White king.

White overlooked mate on h1.
