Now the Rook is guarded and black can finally capture the queen. Also a rook on the 7th (a pig) is strong as it limits the king to the back rank if he is there already. |

21. Kh1

Better was Kh3 as this limits the kings movements as stated prior. The king is stuck on h1 because moving to g1 subjects him to a discovered check once the rook moves. The rook usually kills something then says check and thank-you then moves away. |

Now Black is up a rook for a pawn. 4 points if your counting. |

? maybe fearing Na4. Why move the bishop as Na4 may not happen. Black has the intiative and should control the ending now. Black is maybe preparing b5 later. |

Why not b5 now? Drives the bishop away. |

Two pigs on the 7th hard to defend even if you had a queen on the board. Rxh2 is mate next. White can throw in Ng4 then Bxg4 and follows 32. Bg2, Rxg2 with mate at h2 still next move.
A case of black seeing some fine tactics. Well played!!!
For a site that allows tactical practice and tactics are 90% of the game according to a GM whos name I do not remember: http://chess.emrald.net/
Can't do a link here so copy and paste. Suggest you just click on guest and practice away. I wouldn't worry about score or time but concentrate on finding the best move/tactic. If you'll practice often, you should make good progress in your games.
