11. Bg4
Ok White is getting too far ahead of himself here and I see an easy advantage if everything goes to plan.

 
11... Nxg4
Good for me, Bad for him

 
12. Qxg4
Even Stevens

 
12... Bxd4
Good for me, Bad for him

 
13. Qf3
Why??? I have no idea. I think Castling Queen-side was a better option for white.

 
13... Nxf4
Good for me, Bad for him and still 3 after Qxf4

 
14. Qxf4 Qa5
White Queen four moves, my Queens first move, pinning the Knight on the King. Best move for white, castle King-side. I basically have forced him now into casling on the side that I thought he would castle on and have therefore been setting my pieces up for.

 
15. Qd2
OK so he obviously isn't the strongest player, but he is trying.

 
15... e5
Defend the Bishop

 
16. O-O
Finally he castles. and we are even in development but it is my move so I still have the advantage to attack and forcing him to defend

 
16... d6
Opening the pathway for my bishop to chase his Rook @ f1.

 
17. Kh1
Ok this tells me he probably wants to push pawn to f4 next but my previous move was a double edged Katana. I would let him do f4xe5 then I would do d6xe5 and he would be no better off.

 
17... Bh3
But I still have the advantage so I will chase the Rook first. Mmmm I wonder where he will go.

 
18. Rfc1
Extra protection for the Knight aye?

 
18... f5
Let's take the initiative and split the centre open.

 
19. Qh6
Ok I can deal with that. White only has one attack (my Bishop).

 
19... Bg4
Defend

 
20. a3
Ok White has pushed his pawn to a3. This tells me he wants to back off my Queen but at this stage I already have forseen the end.

 
20... Bxf2
Eliminate the obstruction.

 
21. b4
Oh how I do love the Queen sacrifice, but I will give my opponent one last opportunity to see his demise.
