Fools Mate-ish Checkmate

Wasn't really expecting this to happen. I thought the Fool's Mate was too obvious to fall for, though maybe my opponent really wasn't thinking about it and was just trying to develop his pawn structure.

Even if he was developing his pawn structure, how does a pawn chain on e7/f6/g5 help anything?  I'm not all that great a player, but I can pick out the problems there rather quickly....

Indeed. The thing that suprised me most when he made those pawn moves was that this guy was a decently rated player.

Black seems to have been trying as hard as he could to give up control of the light squares, short of actually sacrificing his bishop and queen.
