1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d3 {Kevin went for the 2 knights defence but I was not feeling like a super sharp game and I declined the forcing Ng5 opting for a quieter Italian} Be7 5.c3 O-O 6.Bb3 d6 7.O-O Bg4 8.Nbd2 b5 {Taking space on the Queenside} 9.Re1 a5 10.Nf1 a4 11.Bc2 Nd7 12.h3 Be6 13.d4 {White has achieved a very nice opening position and Nd7 is posing problems for Black} exd4 14.cxd4 Bc4 15.Ne3 Nb6 16.b3 axb3 17.Bxb3 Na5 18.Bc2 Be6 19.e5 Qd7 {A blunder which gave Black a lost game as he has to play the unsound Bxh3 sacrifice. With his knights on the QS and his DS Bishop not able to quickly get to the b8 h2 diagonal there is not danger here for white.} 20.d5 Bxh3 21.gxh3 Qxh3 22.Qd3 dxe5 23.Nxe5 (23.Nf5 {Stickfish suggests this with +5 advantage}) 23...Bf6 24.N3g4 Qxd3 25.Bxd3 Nxd5 26.Bxb5 {A mistake but White still enjoys a solid advantage despite this} Rfd8 27.Bd2 c5 28.Bxa5 {An oversight by Kevin missing the unstoppable Nc6 fork after the recapture} Bxe5 29.Nxe5 Rxa5 30.Nc6 Rxb5 31.Nxd8 g6 32.a4 Ra5 {#r}
