My opponent is the current Grade 2 provincial champion of Alberta. He shows good promise and I expect he will do well for many years to come.

4.Ba4
Bc5
5.0-0
Nf6
6.d3
The threat with this move is to play Bxc6 followed by Nxe5. Black sees this threat.
6...d6
7.h3
This move is played to prevent Black from playing the Knight or Bishop to g4 and gives my King an escape hatch on h2.
7...Be6
8.Nc3
b5
9.Bb3
Bb6
10.Nd5
Bxd5
11.exd5
Nb4
Black's idea was to try and win the pawn on d5. However, the Knight on b4 has nowhere to go if he can't take the pawn on d4. So, I took advantage of this idea with my next move.
12.Bg5!
h6
Obviously, Black was unaware of the danger to his Knight on b4 as he is attempting to force my Bishop away. However, this move plays right into my plans!
13.Bxf6
Qxf6
14.a3!
Nxc2
15.Qxc2
0-0-0
Castling to this side was not a good idea as there are too many weaknesses for me to exploit.
16.a4
bxa4
17.Bxa4
Qf4
18.Bc6
This was a good move as I will attempt to penetrate with my Queen or Rook on the a-file.
18...a5
19.Ra4!
Another good move as this move forces the Queen to move thus making room for my Queen to go to c4 and then a6.
19...Qf5
20.b4
Taking the pawn on b4 would be mate on a8 by the Rook on the very next move. I thought this move better than bringing my Queen immediately to c4.
20...Rhe8
21.Qc4
Now the Queen goes to c4 where there is no stopping the carnage that is about to happen.
21...Rd7
22.bxa5
Ba7
23.Qa6+
Black resigns here as he will drop both a Bishop and then a Rook. 1-0
