1. e4 d6 2. d4 f5
{ok, I'm not sure I've come across this lots before but I should be able to deal with it if I stick to opening principles, this weakens f7 so let's play on that}
3. exf5 Bxf5 4. Bc4
{its open to getting immediately hit by d5, but that will leave his e pawn horrible}
4... d5 5. Bd3
{with f7 already weak, lets see if he wants to hold on to his light square bishop}
5... Bxd3 6. Qxd3 Nf6 7. Nf3
{I paused here, Qb5+ is maybe the obvious move but I wanted to rush through my development and then chase pawns if i needed to}
7... a6
{he was obviously thinking that I should have played Qb5}
8. O-O e6 9. Re1 Qd7 10. Ne5 Qd6 11. Bf4
{given his response to this, his last move was bad, he's just wasted a tempo}
11... Qe7 12. Nd2
{another pause for thought here, my knight on e5 is a monster, I want to replace it with another one should it get taken so this knight is heading for f3}
12... Nbd7 13. Ndf3 O-O-O 14. c4
{played almost instantly, lets open up the queenside}
14... Nh5 15. Be3 Nxe5 16. Nxe5 dxc4 17. Qxc4 Nf6
{I think he needs to try Qb4 but I think I have Qc2 to keep up the lines but..}
18. b4 Qxb4 19. Qxe6+
{I think its lost now}
19... Kb8 20. Rab1 Qa5
{he sees the obvious threat on the a pawn but...}
21. Nc6+ Ka8 22. Nxa5 Bd6
{I'm surprised he plays on but a nice wrap up}
23. Nxb7 Rde8 24. Qc4 Ka7 25. d5+ Kb8 26. Nxd6+ Ka8 27. Qxa6#
1-0

14. Nc6 bxc6 15. Qxa6+ Kb8 16. Re3 {Looks pretty good and terminal.} 16... Qb4

22. Nxd8 {And Qc8 + and mate on b7 is pretty hard to prevent..}
