My queenside pieces would struggle to meet an attack on that flank, and it might outflank the weakness on d7 as well.} Na6 17.

However, hitting time trouble just as the position heated up was a huge problem for him. I had 25 minutes, not generous but okay.} Qh4 {For the first time in the game I am better. I don't think I knew that, but I did know that my position had improved significantly.} 26. Rf1 {It is hard to admit your previous move was wrong, and he took all but a few seconds to do it, so from here on he was playing on the increment.} Qxh2 27. Qd4 c5 {A multi-purpose move that advances against White's king, gives luft to my own, and wins time against White's queen. I was getting excited here, and Alex was clearly struggling to make each move in 30 seconds or less.} 28. Qf2 $2 {Nearly losing. Stockfish thinks I should trade queens and try to win the endgame, but I gave that little thought compared to the direct attack possibilities that were suddenly opening up.} Rg2 29. Qe3 (29. Qe1 {may be better, but looks really unnatural}) 29... Re2 {Here I had issues of my own; the noise level was becoming intolerable and I felt strongly that I was missing a concrete tactic. Black has many attractive moves including ...Ba6, ...d4, and the text. So hard to choose! I was down to 15 minutes for 11 moves, and I'm not very good in time trouble.
