Torture in the hands of my friend......

As many a budding chess player will confess......
You cannot afford to lose tempo with no good reasons..
I followed the mantra in the opening and middlegame then forgot all about it in a knife edge middle- endgame transition.
seems I missed that lesson and was truly punished for wasting a move with 28....... Nf3-d2 only to return my noble knight on f3 on the next move..
I honourably resigned immediately cos my opponent had decisive control of the a- file

ok this is another lesson learnt...
Do not waste tempo ---check!!
