Of course the story would have been different I think, had I
a) not lost concentration!
b) prevented the seventh rank incursion and perhaps sacrificed a pawn instead.
In a sharp position such as the one reached in the game Black should always be looking for aggressive counter play instead of passive play - a lesson I will take away with me ...
As usual, any comments welcome ...
