Defining moment in this game, IMO, happened after the Q-R skewer (9. ... Bg4 10. Qg3 Bxd1 11. Kxd1).
Noticed that defending both e and g pawns from Seamus' queen was impossible, but after a while realized that '#. Qxg7' was a death trap. (my queen met a similar fate during Game 2 against pevergreen)
Defended e pawn w/ '11. ... Qd6' and hoped...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
(with fingers crossed on both hands)
...he would notice the 'dangling' g pawn but not the trap.
The trap was sprung on move 14 and completed at 16, at the expense of g pawn and K-Rook, and I was able to ride the momentum the rest of the way
