1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 e6 3. Bf4
this variation is very popular lately...

 
3... Nf6 4. Nc3 Bb4 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3
black has doubled white's pawns but they are not weak at all. white can break twice through c4!

 
6... Ne4 7. Qd3 a6
black is not developing pieces. it is hard to play that way.

 
8. Nd2 f5
black is making bad moves. white squares are now weak. e6 is weak. the whole queenside pieces didnt move yet.

 
9. Nxe4 fxe4 10. Qd2
also playable: Qg3, Qh3.

 
10... b5 11. f3
with no developed pieces black will see white floating to the victory.

 
11... exf3 12. exf3 a5 13. Rb1 c6 14. Bd3
white is making pressure on both sides.

 
14... Nd7 15. Bg5 Qc7 16. O-O e5
black's break is too ealy. the king is still in the center...

 
17. Rbe1 h6
?? giving away the g6 spot.

 
18. Bg6+ Kf8 19. dxe5
white is taking as much as he can.

 
19... hxg5 20. Qxg5
the position of the black is so bad that with a piece down white is winning easily

 
20... Rh6 21. e6
the mate is near...

 
21... Rxg6 22. Qxg6 Ne5 23. Rxe5 Qxe5
misses Qf7#, but what else?

 
24. Qf7#
the end.
