Maybe best move I ever made

This one rated a brilliant and it felt that way to me. Rxa2+ which led to winning his queen. Unfortunately, it only got me even, since I had blundered my queen away on move 11.

In chess, a lot is timing !    everything came together for Black as his open King is in the crosshairs of your Rooks.    Both of White's major pieces are on the sidelines and your Rooks come to rule the Board !    Seems that Black will have an edge after all the exchanges -- of your Rook and 2 pawns against his R plus 1 pawn.............you were sharp in forcing the action to get to this point.   Apparently White did not try hard enough and arrived at this position ceding Black strong tactics.   Well done !

Thanks! But while this move was a good one, this game was hardly a triumph. It's one of two draws in my last six games. And the other four were losses, so I'd call it a slump. It happens...but even in a slump there are occasional bright spots. 

I lost my queen early, so this could have easily been a loss.
