 In this case i agree. Although Rag8 looks tempting as it gets all pieces in
from of white's King, human should consider that it plays against a computer
that sees everything and in wild tactical positions it's not easy or even
impossible to outplay it. So a more careful approach was better.

 By the way what would you suggest instead if Rag8 ? A manoeuver like
Bc8-Rb8-Rb7 etc bringing the Rook at g7 without a-Pawn be in danger would be
stupid? I mean could white take advantage of the huge lost time of black doing
all these, to make something good? I can't see what white can do if black don't
allow him to do......
