1...Qa6 2.Qxa6 Bxa6 3.Rc7 h6 was preferable. White has still managed to seize the seventh rank, but he doesn't win a pawn as in the game.
2.Qc7! Qxc7 3.Rxc7 h6
In order to parry the threat of 4 Ng5, Black has to give up a pawn.
4.Rxb7 Rac8 5.b3 Rc2 6.a4 Be2 7.Nh4!
With the threat 8 Nhxg6; while 7...Kf6 fails to 8.Nd7+ .
White soon won.

Intending 2...Ne4, followed by 3...Rh6, with a kingside attack.
2.Rc1 Ne4 3.Nxe4 dxe4 4.Ne5 Rh6 5.Qh6
In order to meet Qh4 by 6.Qg3.
5...Be6 6.Qe3 f6 7.Nc4 Qd5!
Heading for h5.
8.Rc3?!
Exposing the major pieces to a fork. 8.Nd2!? , intending Rfd1 and Nf1, seems preferable.
8...Nc6 9.Rd1 Qh5 10.h3 Ne7!
With the double idea of 11...Nd5 and Nf5-h4.
11.Qd2 e3! 12.Qe3?
The last chance was 12.Nxe3 Bxh3 13.Bf3
12...Nd5
White resigned in view of 13.Bxd5 Bxd5 with the double threat of 14...Rxe3 and 14...Rg6+.
