23. ... Rxf7?? is a big mistake. Correct is 23. ...Kh8 when I think Black has the advantage. Also White's 21.Rf1? doesn't look right and the sac 18. ... Bxh3? is way too speculative.

3... e5? - a2-g8 diagonal will be too weak here and white could have benefitted by playing 5. Ng5!. Better move for black would be (just to give an example) 3... e6 since 4. e5 d5! 5. Bb5+ Nfd7 is nothing to be afraid of.
6... Qb6?! (better 0-0 or d6).
9. Na4!?
16. f4?! courageous but white hardly gets enough compensation for the exchange.
18... Bxh3?? - I strugle to see black's idea. 18... Be6 to exchange the strong white bishop would be logical.
22. Kh1? - it's completely unnecessary to let black capture in h3. 22. Qg4 can be played. Actually already 21. Qg4!? is worth considering.
23... Rxf7?? - loses by force. Instead black must play 23... Kh8 which actually looks quite unpleasant for white since black now has a threat 24... Rxf7 25. Qxf7 Qxh2X.

can you explain the question a bit more, or be more specific please. y
I don't see why 22... Qxh3 should be a blunder. 23. Bxf7+? Kh8! just seems to win for black as white cannot cope with the threats 24... Rxh2+ and 24... Rxf7.
