Calamity!

REACHED the following position this morning with the black pieces against Ned Carmichael (1664 Fide/1833 ECF), who has just castled.
Black to play and lose

Black has lost castling rights, but is only slightly worse after the sensible 13...Qxd1 14.Rxd1 Bg4.
Instead I went for it on the kingside with 13...Qh4?? and had to resign after the reply 14.Qd8+.
