You may be right, but I don't know because this game was resumed from some other
day, and in the meantime I've switched book scheme and books. I could find out

Chezzz never really likes Qa2:

I can't see why it is a blunder, but PostModernist agrees.
Chezzz likes Qd3+, but finds Qc4 better eventually:
