Well played, Ken. I ran this through Shredder, and the analysis is exactly as per your comments. To avoid losing control, White needed to move his rooks to the d and e files around moves 17-22.

As it was, Shredder scores Black with an advantage of 3.8 after move 22, even though the two sides are level on material. Active pieces are everything!
