Yup. Which would've avoided the Ng4 threat, but would have deprived me of opportunity to play the 'oh so tempting' Re1 pin.
With 11... Ng4, Black is threatening a mate in one by playing Nxf2 next turn. My idea was to pin the black Queen using my Rook. Ng4 would put that idea out the window, and instead I would've had to try to deal with a pretty strong mating threat. Luckily he didn't see it, and I won.![]()
