Isolated queen pawn as a distraction?

Hey all, haven't posted in a while...

I was happy about this game, mostly, because I really tried something different for me: actually building up a proper defence as black, with what I thought was a nice, but not too aggressive opening: the opposite of my instinct!

In any case, though there was 1 moderate error on my opponents part (which arguably won me the game, or at least a distinct advantage) I was also left with the infamous isolated d-pawn as black. What I found interesting in this game, (other than my having missed the winning combo 2 moves earlier) was how black seemed to benefit from the distration that the d-pawn posed to white - debatebly inducing white's innacuracy and then dictating white's defensive posturing.

I'd appreciate thoughts/feedback  pls - btw - this was a 3 min live game.

Thanks, enjoy:

Your central pawn was not at all weak, but rather it cramped white's position and gave you potential support points for the knight. Nice game.
