I love your comment to 10.g4?!… “muddy the water”… I’ll say it did. Note, I call this move doubtful as after Black’s 9…e6?! you have such a big space advantage and are close to +.8 according to Fritz… and I agree. Any move such as Nxc4 or Rb1 or Bxc4 or even a5 and Black is suffering. Allowing 10… Qh4+ is no more than equal since now you must be careful with your King in the center. I have a theory… Jorge’s game was getting too much attention, so you decided to make everyone watch your game… am I right? Still, your judgement proved correct after Black refused the check. Who am I to question your grasp on chess psychology. Great game!
