What am I not seeing? How on earth is rook takes rook considered a better move than G7 ? To me G7 is either best move or an excellent move. But the analysis says it's inaccurate.

It's not hard to see that taking the rook would have simplified the game, leaving you a protected passed pawn on g6. You were still chasing around his rook at the game's end.

oh yes I see it now. H4-H5...

Still I don't think it's as bad as calling it an inaccuracy. It's certainly a good move.
