1. e4 Nc6 2. d4 e5 3. dxe5 Nxe5 4. f4 Ng6 5. Nf3 Bc5 6. Nc3 d6 7. Bc4 Nf6 8. f5 Ne7
{8...Ne5 loses a pawn after 9.Nxe5 dxe5 10.Qxd8+ Kxd8 11.Bxf7}
9. Bg5 Nc6 10. Qd2 a6
{waste of time, he probably should have castled to bring his rook into play and his king away from danger in the e-file}
11. Nd5
{applying pressure on the f6 knight, i could have played Nd5 on previous move as well}
h6 12. Bh4
{maintaining the pressure on f6} b5 13. Bb3 Bb7 14. O-O-O a5
{he wants to trap my bishop}
15. a4
{no way, josé!}
Nb4 16. Nxf6+ gxf6 17. e5!

20. exf7+ Kxf7 21. Qxh6
{with 2 pawns in hand and a very exposed enemy king I have a clear advantage}Be3+
{obviously hoping for me to blunder my queen, in any case a clever way to exchange bishops since my bishop on f6 is very dangerous for black}
