I am worried about my calculation skills, Can you see that deep?

Yea, counter attack. And not to respond directly to opponent play, so called.. i forgat..  response chess or something..

I did not saw g4 a forcing move (to force white to respond to my move) What i saw is that i have attack on king side.. but he could have attack on queen side and i did not like that. I liked how passive his rook is.. so lets hold him there.. my attack will not go away but his attack will vanish.. that was what i was thinking.. The reall skills comes first to see g4, then to calculate which attack is more dangerous and make an decision by comparing both way of stopping his play and continuing my play.. On top on that to see that knight jump.. i though this knight will go defensive on g3.. not d2.. it was too dificult to see everything and already spend like 10 min OTB..

I calculated 3: Bb1 and I don't see a defense for black. I am threatening the knight on a5, the queen, and removing the attacker of the g3 square untethering my queen. What am I missing?

What diagram are you looking at.  White doesn't have a B on the diagram of post #23.

I am a slow chess player and play slow time controls.

my rapid is 1500+ and rapidly improving

i think Be3 is a blunder, losing a pawn.

it cannot be regained because Qxa5 hangs the rook.

Think of this list as an analysis tool.  Analyzing is taking a big complicated problem, like finding the right move(s) in a  chess position, and breaking the big problem into smaller simpler problems.  Think of the things on this list as  those smaller  simpler  problems that have to be solved in order  to solve the big problem of finding the right move(s) in a chess position,

Think of this List as a set of pegs in the calculation tree.  The pegs in the list will be great climbing aids in climbing much higher in the calculation tree than you ever could before.  This list is your calculation big tree tool.

Here is the list I have kept since I started playing chess:

Things to do before I  make a move

1. Am I sitting on my hands  now that I am seated at the chess board table?

2. Is my written list in my possession?

3. What is my opponent  threatening to do and what is my best move to stop his threat and  Kill as much of his counterplay as possible ( you will have to learn what killing counterplay is, and how to execute it on the chess board.)

4. What is the pawn structure  on the board and what are the pawn break points? 

     a. Remember pawn moves are permanent because they cannot move backwards.

     b. Are there any pawn majorities on either side of the board?

     c. Are there any open or half-open files on the board?  Who is in control of that file?

     d. Are there any pawn weaknesses on the board?  You will have to learn about (doubled pawns,

         isolated pawns, backward pawns, etc.) and how to exploit those weakenesses

     e. Is the center blocked.  Flank attacks succeed more often when the center is blocked

5. Are there any of  mine or enemy undefended Pieces and/or Pawns?

   a. Beware of pieces and or pawns that are defended indirectly. ( beware of tactics here!)

   b. Beware of pieces and or pawns that are defended backwards. (yes enemy pieces can defend their own backwards because pieces can move  forwards or backwards.  Pawns can only move  forward or  diagonally forward when capturing.

6. Are there any weak square complexes in the position?   Learn what these are and how to exploit.  

7. Have I checked all of these items above 2x before I make a move,
