Great video! It's interesting how a lot of the same principles apply even though you never really reached the Bayonet attack with 9. b4. Very instructive emphasis of how Black should wait with gxf3. In the position at 12:28, what do you think of Qh3 before taking the a5 pawn with the Bishop? it threatens Qc8+ winning the Knight. Of course Nd7 prevents it, but then taking then Bxa5 leads to the same position with a slightly more active Queen on that long diagonal?
glad you liked the video! oh, i think your intermediate move Qh3 is much better than Bxa5 by far, i don´t remember what was i thinking during the game but considering that i was short of time i probably was simply too stingy to leave the "g" file with my queen hahaha. And you´re right, white can take that a5 whenever they want so they should probably look for the best moment to do so, like when i played Be1, black had Qd8 but then white can simply go Qd2 and win it anyway which i forgot to mention in the video.
thanks! and oh yeah i was definitely expecting a long hard struggle against a set out i use myself with the black pieces once in a while. Few things amaze me as much as a line in which even engines have a hard time understanding what it´s going on, no matter what color or role i have, and that`s also quite often what makes this game so beautiful!

Very good play by you but I agree that taking the f pawn definitely was a mistake
