I went into this game expecting a long drawn out fight, but thanks to some mistakes on his part and aggressive plays on mine, I was able to get a quick victory.

Moral of the story, don't play a passive move like 3. ... d6 when you can play 3. ... d5. Challenge your opponent!

 

6. Qa4. I think 6. Qb3 might be better. White's options for defending the loose b-pawn are limited. 6. ... Rb8 7. Qa4+ wins the a-pawn. 6. ... b6 7. Qa4+ and now black cannot block on c6.
