I read Head_hunter's post with some shame, (my own) So I have been practicing on annotating my own games. So I have answered his call for a posted game. I hope my first try is an acceptable one, I am open for suggestions, improvements, on my both my annotations and my games.

2.Nf6? mistake u just gave a pawn up. Better is Nc6 to protect the pawn then if 3.Bc4 u can play 3..g6.
6...Nc6 was ok but i would have chosen 6...0-0 instead.
7.d5?! this to me is risky business. I would have looked at Bh5 then if 8.Qxg7...Rg8 9.Qh6...Rg6 and the momentum is in ur favour. U can always castle queen side remember. 7...Nd4 is also an interesting idea.
Answer to question on move 10 is it looks good so far ur down some material but have more pieces in play and all the initiative.
12...Nxc2? is not the best move. Just take the queen and then play Nxc2+
13.Ke2?? just gave u everything u wanted with interest. Better was Kd1!
17...e4! Nice move!
18...e3?! at this point u should have an easy win. But still i would just play 18...Qg2 and take the stupid rook.
You are getting better my friend keep up with the effort!
Thanks I will update my game with your suggestions!

Great game Bernie. Well played throughout. I will have to spend more time looking at it, but from my limited knowledge, I don't see a whole lot that screams at me that says that you could have played any differently.
