1. b3 e5 2. Bb2 e4 {Probably a wasted move as he's not developing any pieces

lines of the bishop on b2, but I felt that this move was wrong.} 5. c3 Be7 6.

but I felt swapping pawns off and developing a knight was best.} Nxe4 7. Bd3 d5

he's moved his knight yet again and from there I can prepare moves like c4 and
b4 to expand my position and open my bishops up.}) 8. Nf3 O-O 9. Nbd2 {#} f5 {
I felt this wasn't good as it only defended a piece and he hasn't really
developed any of his queenside. Plus, a move like f5 leaves holes on e6 and e5
which looked vulnerable as the knights were still on.} 10. c4 {To expand my
position and both attack his centre and unleash the b2 bishop.} Nc5 {Yet
another knight move which isn't crucial, so even though my bishop was attacked,
he has no development on the queenside.} 11. Bc2 Nc6 {He finally develops! (I
also left castling on the kingside late as if I was to be able to castle
queenside, I could possibly plan g4, h4 etc as both bishops are hitting the
king.)} 12. a3 {To defend against Nb4 followed by Nbd3, and also preparing b4
if possible.} dxc4 13. Nxc4 {I wasn't worried if the queens came off, as I
have a great position and all my pieces are doing something.} Be6 14. Qe2 {To
prepare Rd1 and defend the knight on c4.} Bf6 {This was annoying, as it
proposes the swap of dark-squared bishops, which I don't want as my bishops
are much better than his.} 15. Rd1 (15. Bxf6 Qxf6 {and now he is covering
squares like e5 and he's attacking my rook.}) 15... Qe7 16. Nd4 {I felt this
was a way to keep the b2 bishop on and gain a centralized pawn with potential
of e6 later on.} Nxd4 17. exd4 Qf7 18. O-O ({Qf7 was a bit annoying because}

threats of Bc8 or Bd7, as I just take on c5.} Nxb3 $4 (20... Bd5 {is probably
best, as it hits the queen and defends the knight on c5 but still hits b3.})
21. d5 {White wins a piece, but black has two pawns for it.} Nc5 22. dxe6 Nxe6
23. Bb3 $1 {Double pin on king and queen and unleashes the bishop's fury.} Qg6

followed by Qxg7+.} Kh8 $2 ({I thought maybe} 24... Rf6 {was trying to hold on,
but I just move my queen and play Rd1.}) 25. Bxe6 Rxe6 26. Qxg7+ Qxg7 27. Bxg7+
{All is over: black a rook down, and white will just pick up the queenside
pawns and mate.    This game from my point of view showed black wasted time
and white just developed and expanded slowly, and those bishops proved vital
and aggressive throughout. 1.b3 is just a win for white!} 1-0
