So this was an odd game that I just played at rapid control. At one point, I swapped the Queen for material when Black was in time trouble. Was there anything that I could do to play this without the Queen sac?

I saw that right after the text. The real threat was the mate if he was one square over. I moved way too fast there.

TheRollingKick

oh well

There were two moves I missed and the Queen capture miss was a blunder.

ye lol

I grabbed the wrong pawn on move 9 and the later Qd4 move was faulty.

TheRollingKick

ye true

In the end, I think I should not have played the sac and only considered it because of the TT issue.

TheRollingKick

you could have been more careful
