Nxg3 is winning, but I think Qxh4 is better

I'm pretty sure Qxh4 doesn't lead to anything immediate, after Rh1

The reason why I really liked this tactic is that two moves previously, 16.. Nc5 I was debating whether or not I should start the attack with Nh5 or not, then I ended up playing Nc5 and thinking: "now that was stupid, it serves no real purpose".

Of course, if not for Nc5 there would be NO tactic and NO checkmate, I think Nc5 is the beautiful part of this.

after Rh1, Nf6+   Kg1, Rxg3+ with a very likely mate, as well as winning material

Well, I was thinking along the lines of Rh1 Nf6+ Bg1

Qxh4 does seem better.

Earlier in the game, 8.Ne5 gets itself trapped (though in 3 0, it isn't the easiest thing to see). But the bigger thing to me is 6...g5? 7.Bxg5 Why not?
