What about this game, Game 3907814, sacrificing a rook suddenly opens room for ideas, i'll try this in some more games 🙂

Of course 10..Qc8 would give black the room they needed - as Korch mentioned.

I remember paying for a few of my OTB games to be annotated by an IM. After submitting a (won) game of mine with annotations I was quite surprised by the IM's notes. I'd made quite a few poor moves that I thought were good and misunderstood my opponents play. The win was due to a later mistake by the opponent.
