Top Indian Grandmaster Invents a Counter-Gambit to my Stafford Gambit

I had a pleasure of playing the Stafford Gambit in a blitz chess against world top 100 grandmaster @Adhiban Baskaran in Sochi, Russia. He has a FIDE rating of 2662 and represented India at the World Cup. Be sure to check out his YouTube channel!

(4/4) On another note I could do with some tips on how to get a good sleep. It seems like I am a fully fledged insomniac. 😵‍💫
I was in bed at 1am last night but didn't even manage to get 1 minutes sleep after tossing and turning all night. Been awake for about 40 hours now. 😱

(3/4) I missed one very likely obvious winning move.
Here I played Bg2? but I should just play Qh6!
For some reason I had missed ...Qxh6 Bxh6 ...Nxc3 a3! Which is game over.
In the end I lost 😔 after Johann played excellently.
