It seems 19. ... Qa5 is a blunder.  I don't understand why black didn't play
Nxd3 or something instead.  Then later you have the brilliant Queen maneuvers
Qa4-Qa3-Qa4-Qa5-Qa4.  Black is playing completely useless moves.  It's somewhat
lucky that white didn't have a clue how to attack (27. Bf2 ??), because it
should have been dead several moves sooner.  Moves like 21. Bxh7+ are
interesting to analyze.
