Hi all,

I have begun studying chess and I'm trying to stop making blunders. After finishing my most recent game and getting the computer to analyse, I saw that I had made the blunder below. I am confused how it is a blunder, what is so different between pawn to f6 as opposed to h6? Any help is appreciated.

You have the advantage of 2 extra pawns.  But after 20...h6?  You allow white to get the draw with a perpetual check after 21.Re8+ Rxe8 22.Re8+ Kh7 23.Nf8+
