1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. c4 c6 4. dxc6 Nxc6 5. Nf3 e5 6. d3 e4 7. Ng5 Bf5 8. Qb3 Bb4+ 9. Bd2 Bxd2+ 10. Nxd2 Nd4 11. Qa4+ Bd7 12. Qd1 Bg4 13. Qa4+ Nd7 Now the correct move is 14. c5 threatening the knight on d4. Play might continue 14...Qxg5 15. Qxd4 Nxc5 - with chance for both side. However Jun Jian blunder horribily with 14. Ngxe4?? Which Ismail answered with a strong blow 14... Qa5!!
White's queen suddenly can't find a safe home. 15. Qxa5 (15. Nd6+ Kf8 and white still lose) 15... Nc2# checkmate 0-1 White resign.
That's a very nice game Ismail. Sorry Jun Jian.
