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...

...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
GG, good sir

Losing the Queen (I saw the trap one move late) not only put me at a power disadvantage, but the timing and placement put me behind the curve the rest of the game. I struggled on, but my efforts only increased his costs, G never let me change the power metric back to even. My only consolation is that a better player defeated me in this game, and did not beat AND embarrass me as in our first confrontation. Congratulations.
