Dropping a queen

Here is a brutal austrian attack game against the Pirc where I dropped a queen and still was able to finish it off. I saw that the rook was lined up to attack my queen but did not calculate correctly that I could be put in check by the Knight. The big question is whether black trading a rook and a knight for a queen and a pawn in this position was a good thing. I imagine it was but not sure. With proper play on his part, I think I would of lost.



I wrote down the moves as I played for practice. Hopefully I will have better vision in the tourney this weekend.
