Black can't take the knight, otherwise the pawn would queen and he couldn't stop it. |

Now that the queenside is all protected, I'll move my king towards his knight to queen my h pawn. |

I didn't want to take his knight, so I could mess up and let him leave with a stalemate. I want the win. Don't we all? |

1-0. I know that at first my aim was around my dark square bishop and dominating the dark squares, but mid-way through my plan changed. I saw that I could win most of his pieces and have a good endgame for white so I took that option. Again, this is my first attempt at annotating so feedback would be appreciated, both good and bad. |
