Maybe worth to add: the retreat to e1 also protects the g2 pawn and prevents the game continuation Qxg2 as the pawn is now protected by the knight on e1 :-) So knight to e1 is a real multifunctional move: it helps protecting the rook (indirectly), protects the pawn on g2 and attacks the queen at the same time - beautiful harmony between the white pieces after Se1 !

Time trouble or not: always if I remember that game I still think it's unbelievable that I didn't spot that move during the game ...
I understand your feelings, but your moves led to that beauty , don't forget that! :-)
