1.d4 d6 2.c4 Bd7 3.Nc3 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.e4 e6 6.Bd2 Ne7 7.Be2 Nbc6 8.O-O Bxd4 {Nxd4 is better (C.B.)} 9.Nxd4 Nxd4 10.Bh6 {I think Bg5 is stronger (C.B.)} e5 11.f4 Nec6 12.fxe5 dxe5 13.Nd5 Be6 14.Nf6+ Ke7 15.Bg7 Qd6 16.Bxh8 Rxh8 17.Bg4 Bxg4 {Black should take c4, an option I hadn't considered (C.B.)} 18.Qxg4 Qc5? 19.Qd7+ Kf8 20.Qe8+ Kg7 {I actually walked into this without much careful thought (you could say I started being risky). I figured I had blundered as I was unsure about what to do with my queen at this stage (C.B.)} 21.Nh5+! {I was glad to find this, although I wasn't sure if it was sound. After 21...Kh6, 22. Qxh8, it seems black has no way to make progress with either Nc2+ or Ne2+ (I think Nf5+ is the move). It turned out that I followed the correct course of play after 18...Qc5, but I had no idea at the time (C.B.)} gxh5?? 22.Qxf7+ Kh6 23.Qf6# {This was my first game with Sean and I got a happy surprise when he played d6 in the opening (I like playing it myself). It was fun and I can't wait to play him again someday. Thanks for the game, Sean.}
