Might as well take the center if he's going to start that way...

4... Nf6
4...b4 was the right move.

I'm not going to let him attack the flank without me also attacking the flank.

Here is the first sacrifice I do. I do this hoping to trap his Queen.

Here, I offer up exf5 Qxd3. This lets his Queen out, but will let me get a vicious attack.

 
17... Bxf5
Instead, he treats it like I made a mistake. Rather, this was his fatal mistake.

 
18. Nc6+
A final sacrifice seals in my win.

 
18... Nxc6 19. Qd6#
I end the game down 10 points materialy, but up a whole king. ;)
