Well there goes his Isolani and it creates another,
ok technically its a passed pawn.

Bxd4+ (0:02)
34. Kh1 (0:01) Bf7 (0:08)
35. Bc3 (0:02) Bb6 (0:04)

Notice that by moving his knight around attacking willy-nilly,
I am advancing my pawns.

47. g3 (0:01) h3 (0:13)

I totally missed that Be5 is check mate!

48. Nf4 (0:08)

Unfortunately now I see it, but now to get it I am going to
have to maneuver.

Ba4 (0:12)
49. Ng2 (0:51)

He wants me to take his knight with my pawn, which would
allow his K to get out of that corner.

Bc6 (0:06)

This pins the knight allowing me to take it at my leisure
50. Bd2 (0:15) hxg2# (0:10)
