this is a game i played recently. I was on the White side. Black next played RxPg4+. This is a move i was worried about at the time. And black did in fact play it. I went on to win it, but blacks moves definitely were not of precision and were not the best moves possible at all. My question is is this move RxPg4+ sound, and does it lead to a winning game with correct play??

 this was the next few moves! But a few inaccurate moves left me to win easily.

It looks like Black would be better off playing 31... fg.  In the game, 32 fg Rxg4+ 33 Rg2 seems fine.  There seems to be something missing from the diagram on a5 btw (since it gets captured a few moves later--a pawn?).

eh yep there sure is. Its a pawn. There are pawns on a5 and also b5. Forgot them somehow. After those moves you suggest, do you think black is winning here? I think so. Maybe i think i should have played PxR after he played RxPg4 instead of Kh1?

Yeah, I think Black is probably winning (or at least quite a bit better) after 31... fg. And I think you're winning after 32 fg Rxg4+ 33 Rg2.
