I don't like your line very much ; I think 1. ...Bc8 would be a better move but
this is a matter of opinion or would require deeper analysis .

More interesting is what Searcher missed to finish off PM after the Qc8 mistake,
namely a nice shot at move 36 :

[D]2q1kr2/3brp2/3R3Q/4p3/Np1b4/1P4P1/2PRB2P/2K5 w - - 0 1

Here 36. R2xd4 ed 37. Nb6 + - is a pretty and logical finisher .

This one _should_ be solvable for some of the better engines even at Blitz time
controls and looks like a good tactical test.

Cheers.
