I certainly remember my last game against a WGM...an all-too-brief experience. :)
After 20 moves here she is pretty much lording it over the queenside. But you might be able to get some play yourself on the other end with Qg5 followed by Ne3. Then ...c3 would give a good square to your bishop, while ...b3 would at any rate close things up over there.
Which is indeed what happened. Anyway, it's true that after the preferable 25 Rxa8 Rxa8 it might well be difficult to comfortably cover your b2-pawn while proceeding with an attack on the kingside. And a move later recapturing with the queen (26 Qxa3) might well have endangered the lady. But 26 ba is just positional capitulation: a protected passer on the sixth is always gonna win out eventually.

26. bxa3 led to the downfall! Should have played Qxa3 instead.
I have seen many saying 'my best game' and almost every time they won that game. One hardly shares a losing game and that too feeling proud. So, I felt quite good by this.
You didn't lose so easily, that is, game went smoothly in Black's favour and couple of blunders was only major difference, so that's something to cherish.
Nice game indeed!

Really nice and hope you understand from game! Gave quite a fight at least instead of giving up!
