1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d3
I dont like that move. it seems very passive for white.

 
3... Nf6 4. Bg5 h6 5. Be3 d5
black is attacking the center (maybe too soon) because of White's passive way of play.

 
6. d4
by that move white admit his mistake in the 3rd move.

 
6... dxe4 7. Nxe5 Nd5
I think that better was: 7... Nxe5 8. dxe5 Qxd1 9. Kxd1 Ng4.

 
8. Bc4 Be6
better was: 8... Nxe3 9. fxe3 Nxe5 10. dxe5 Qxd1 11. Kxd1 Bc5.

 
9. Nc3 Nxe3 10. fxe3 Bb4
not the best move. like before - Nxe5.

 
11. Bxe6 Nxe5 12. dxe5 fxe6
now black is left with an open king side and no defence to the poor king in the center.

 
13. Qh5+ Kd7 14. O-O-O+
! black must give up a piece.

 
14... Bd6 15. Qf7+ Kc8 16. Qxe6+ Kb8
white is pushing black to the edge. the end is near...

 
17. exd6 Re8
not good but what else can black do?

 
18. dxc7+ Qxc7 19. Qxe8+ Qc8 20. Rd8 Kc7 21. Qe7+ Kb8 22. Qd6#
the end!
