Was it smart to draw here?

Why not play f4, then bring up your Rf1-f3-h3+ -- this seems to be decisive.

I know.. The Chess.com analysis just finished and I saw all the mistakes I made. I like the bishop queen combo on the h pawn. Definitely good to know for future reference.

It looks to me like you may have been able to keep the attack going with f4 and Rf3.

Say 21. f4 Rf5 22. Rf3 Rg8 23. Rh3 or 21. f4 Qg7 22. Qh5+ Kg8 23. Rf3 folowed by Rg3

Beat me to it DyLan

And if Black attempts to meet f4 with Rg8, you then have

f4 Rg8

Qh6+ Qh7

Nf7 smothered mate!
