I'd like to share a cool tactic that occured in my game:

Did your instincts tell you what you would have done if 24..Rh8 ? It's not the kind of position I would want to have to figure out in one or two seconds.

After ...Rh8 I can play Re7!! and then Nxg6

I assume this is what you mean. This certainly looks better for black than 23 ..Rg7.

Agreed (although White is still clearly better). Most beautiful games are created after the opponent makes a huge mistake under pressure. It happens.
