Here is a game I recently played in which I sacked a bishop on move 10 to what should have been to white's advantage, but rather than develop an attack himself he decided to respond to my strong but rather slow in coming attack. 

Enjoy

10...Bh3?? as long as you understand this is a blunder, and wont work against good players, you have learned something.  You should have played 10...g4.

After 6. Bg5, the threat is 7. e5 which forces Black to ruin his kingside pawn structure to avoid losing the knight.

9. e5 gains space for White and locks in Black's light-squared bishop for the time being.

16. Nh4  gxh4+ 17. Kh1 should be considered. The h-file is kept closed, the White queen protects f2, allowing Rg1 to fight for control of the g-file. 16. hxg4 allows the h-file to open which is hard for White to defend.

I agree with IMBacon and the engine that Bxh3 is a flat out blunder. The rule of thumb is you normally need at least 3 pieces for an attack to succeed. You sort of have 1.

Playing hoping the opponent makes weak moves is a great way to lose.
