20. Qxf6+
First take the bishop, and now I'm a pawn up

 
20... Ke8
I had to do something about the threat of Rg2+. First I looked at Qxf4, but this was quickly dismissed because of Rf8 and queen loss following. Then I narrowed my options down to two moves: Rhg1 and Rh2. But after Rh2 Qxd2+ Kf1 Qxh2 I didn't really see a good continuation, but when I put my game in Shredder it gave Rh2 as the best move and then gave me a combination after which I would have won a rook. But I didn't see it and he had a forced draw.

 
21. Rhg1 Qxd2+ 22. Kf1 Rxg1+ 23. Kxg1 Qe3+ 24. Kf1
He offered a draw but I refused, thinking I could escape

 
24... Qf3+ 25. Ke1 Qe3+ 26. Kd1 Qg1+ 27. Ke2 Qe3+
Draw by perpetual check.
