When Black, in this game, passes up going Kingside with his monarch to find safety for later going Queenside, he might have been wary of the mangled quotation: Do not ask for whom the wrecking ball tolls, it tolls for thee...

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6
7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 d6 9.Qa5
Adding yet another position that the Queen goes to on Bill's behalf. See "Spicy!"
9...Nf6 10.O-O
The only other example of this 9.Qa5 line in The Database saw 10.d3 b6 11.Qc3 Bb7 12.O-O c5 13.f4 Rf8 14.f5 Ne5 15.Bf4 Nh5 16.Bxe5 dxe5 17.Qxe5+ Qe7 18.Qc3 Rd8 19.Nd2 Nf6 20.Nf3 Nd7 21.h4 Nf6 22.Ng5 Bc8 23.a4 h6 24.Nf3 Bb7 25.Ne5 Qd6 26.a5 Qd4+ 27.Qxd4 Rxd4 28.axb6 axb6 29.Ra7 Bxe4 30.dxe4 Rxe4 31.Ra8+ Ke7 32.Ng6+ Kd6 33.Rxf8 Re2 34.c4 Rxb2 35.Rd1+ Kc6 36.Ne5+ Kc7 37.Rf7+ Kc8 38.Nc6 Black resigned, AsceticKingK9 - mckenna215, ChessWorld JG6, 2011.
10...Rf8 11.d4 Nxe4
Greedy. Continuing to castle-by-hand with 11... Kf7 was indicated. Oddly enough, Black will choose later to castle-by-hand on the Queenside.
12.Re1 Ne7
Calmly giving up the wayward Knight. Bill and Houdini 3 suggest two ways to look for counter-play and get something for the material: 12...d5 13.f3 c6 14.Qxd8+ Kxd8 15.fxe4 dxe4 16.Nc3; or 12...Qh4 13.g3 Qf6 14.Rxe4+ Kf7 15.Bg5 Qf5 16.Qxf5+ Bxf5 17.Re1.
13.Rxe4 Bf5 14.Re3
White is a pawn up, and has the safer King.
14...Kd7
Wisely looking to King safety. 14...Bxc2 would be answered by 15.Na3.
15.Nc3 Nc6 16.Qa4 Kc8
17.d5 Ne7 18.Bd2 Ng6 19.Rae1 Bd7 20. Qd4 Rf7
White is improving the placement of his pieces, while Black seems to be doing the opposite.
21.Ne4 Qh4 22.Rc3
Threatening 23.Nxd6+. Now it is Black's Queen who will feel misplaced.
22...Kb8 23.Bg5 Qg4 24.f3 Qf5 25.Qc4 Bc8
26.Nxd6 cxd6 27.Re8 Black resigned
Checkmate is inescapable: 27...a5 28.Rxc8+ Qxc8 29.Qxc8+ Ka7 30.Be3+ b6 31.Rc7+ Rxc7 32.Qxc7+ Ka6 33.Qxb6#.
