Indeedm @Jumpski The superfluous and even harmful move ...h6 makes it even better. Chess is often decided by small details, ...h6 omitting ...e6 can be considered a severe blunder.

Going further into details, the "positional" a4 can be discussed, it's like starting a sprint and then after a couple of moves both tie their shoes first (a4, Qd1-b3-d1).

It might sound harsh but there's pretty much work in front of you. Black opens the position voluntarily only to be killed in a few moves - cooperative as hell. White impulsively tries to win the Queen... etc.

No big deal. Practising, analysing, practising, analysing.
@Sarg0n In this game, there was many moves we can discuss. :-) The big point is:
