Nc6?! { Rarely played defense, it blocks the c pawn which Black tends to break with after e6. } 4. Bxc4 e6 5. Nf3 { I no longer play Nc3 before Black's dark square Bishop comes out. It gives Black less forcing options to play. } 5... Bb4+ 6. Nc3 { Nc3 or Bd2 are both good but I was looking to keep the Bishop pair as the become important later on. } 6... Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 Na5 8. Bd3 Nf6 9. Ba3 { I do this every game if possible, it usually comes from the capture on c3 and the recapture from b2. } { [%cal Ga3f8] } 9... c6! { It seems like c6 aims to block the Qa4+ that was coming and have the Queen support the a5 Knight. Black later reveals it was to attack h2 and develop the Queen to castle long. } 10. Qa4 Qc7 11. O-O Ng4?! { The threat is non existent since I have a Knight on f3 } { [%cal Gg4h2,Gc7h2] } 12. g3 Bd7 13. Qc2 { Stepping out of any reveal attacks } 13... O-O-O 14. h3 Nf6 15. Kg2 { Solidification of my King } 15... Rhe8 16. Ne5 { Threatening Nxf7 winning the Rook } { [%cal Ge5f7] } 16... Rf8 17. Bxf8 { Black goes down the exchange, a mistake on their part I'm assuming } 17... Rxf8 18. Rab1 c5 19. Rfc1 { In the event Black takes on d4 then I have a Queen battery } 19... cxd4 20. cxd4 Qxc2 21. Rxc2+ Kb8 { [%cal Gc2b2,Gb2b7,Gd3e4,Ge4b7] } 22. Nxd7+ { The idea here was to remove the Knight from f6 so I could stick the Bishop on e4 to triple attack b7 } 22... Ka8 23. Nxf8 Nc6 24. Rcb2 Kb8 { Mate in 7 here but Black makes it a little easier } 25. Rxb7+ Kc8 26. Rxf7 a5 { [%csl Rd8,Rb8,Ra7,Rb7,Rc7,Rd7,Ra6][%cal Gf8e6,Ge6d8,Gd3a6,Ga6c8,Gb1b8,Gf7a7] } 27. Nxe6 a4 28. Ba6# { 1-0 White wins by checkmate. } { [%cal Gf7a7,Ga6c8,Gb1b8,Ge6d8] } 1-0
