What time control was this? Important factor in decision making. Also, don’t suppose you could post the PGN – I hate not being able to flick back and forward
I’m gonna go for about 1600-1800 lichess, just because Nh5 from black feels a bit of a nothing move, and while 15. Rad1 for white gives a discovered attack with the pawn recapture, it gives an isolated pawn and the queen can just move.
Thanks for the guess. This was chess.com in an unrated game randomly matched up. I was white ~800 ELO and the opponent was black ~1800 ELO
I really kinda feel he just got greedy in the end and I started ignoring my threats while gobbling pawns. They were certainly very salty about it and supposedly reported me for sandbagging.

Not sure why it has $ in it and what those even mean.
