Finally a game without blunders ... or not ?

On another chess server I played a 5+3 blitz game today, and I was pleased about the result.

But after checking with a chess engine it turned out I missed an interesting tactic.

I don't see the big advantage of Qxa2 over Rxd1+

After 23. Qxa2 White will have trouble defending. 24. Qxa2 isn't a possibility due to 24. Rxd1+. This means White either has to play 24. Re1, 24. Qe1 or 24. Qf1.

So 23. Qxa2 would've stopped White's counterplay for a while and White would get a somewhat cramped position.

It was plain London system for black.

Stonewall would be with f7f5 included as well.
