Game 16 As vs. me 1/12/16 Little Golem

Black unfortunately gave away too many pieces in the opening. While it means less piece to connect, black's position was ruined. 

1. g1-e3 h6xe3

If c1xe3, h3xe3

2. f1-d3 h4-f4
3. d1-d4 a4xd4

4. e1-c3 a5xc3

5. b1-e4

...h5-g4

A mistake on my part. h7xe4 would have begun an isolation of the d3 pieces.

6. e4xh7

With this move, I assume that my opponent is trying for a connection on the north side of the board.

...a2-c2

7. d3-g6

This move confirms my suspicions, and in fact my last move helped black out. Still, it's going to be tough to move the c1 piece up the board.

...a7-a4

8. h7-e4

Blocking the move a4-e4.

 ...a3-c5

9. g6-d3

I originally had a question mark for this move, but now I see I had a mate in 1 that black was trying to stop.

 ...a6-c4

10. e8-c6 a4xc6#
