What do you think about this game??

Hello.
I want to know your opinion about this game (i play with black).

http://es.lichess.org/Bj1ZPB4xGqZq

Particularly the move 18. (Kxh3). I could have played Kxd3. But I think it would lose pressure and openness. Moreover, taking into account the position of the bishops, and the queen ... on completely unprotected king.

After Kxd3, I could have taken the tower .... but seriously, I think it would lose pressure. And the advanced.

And the move 21, is the same idea. Knowing that the bishop would lose if I do not move.
And the move 22 again the same. (do not take the bishop).

What is your opinion about this stuff?

Greetings to all and thank you very much

You need to work on tactics man,
u have a crushing position there,
I answered in the game, although I think its better to answer in the forum, since the game comments get deleted,
in such a position you must be very confident
as I said go knight d3 and win the game
going for checkmate directly sometimes can backfire,
so you grab a piece or two and then keep pushing until victory
Its true that after knight h3 u leave his king exposed (no pawns), machine recommends bishop d6 not only because threats queen but also because It opens the queen diagonal.
To summarize a little, to do an awesome attack sometimes requires good tactical ability, u can try to play like that to enjoy the game but sometimes there is an easier route, a more peaceful one
If you go knight d3, if u are worried about g7, you can always take the bishop instead of the rook,
also even if white did not have a knight u can always play rook f7, bishop f6 at worst to protect that threat,
let me put some examples one second so you can see it.
The machine is hard to beat, I need to study engines

but against a human you should not worry about that,
you can play inferior moves if makes the position easier,
that is gives some concessions but against machine is different
as It does not get tired and always plays the best move.
Im gonna play it again.
There is some counterplay with b1, but only if u make big concessions or ur opponent is much stronger,
so taking the rook might be better or playing rook f7
, lets play again,
did not try to play the best moves, just tried to play somethingg easier, but beating the machine is never easy.
bishop d6 seems the better options since the queen with the kinght and the bishops seem unstoppable,
still Its quite annoying to play against the machine I really dont enjoy it

So in practice you have many options to play and you should choose the one that feels more comfortable but It has to be sound as well
knight h3 is a little passive, you need to add more pieces to the attack, by moving the bishop your queen can attack on the kingside and also later the rook on a8 can help.
Move 22 you can grab the bishop but moving the queen is better as you force him to find a deffence and you still have the option of taking the bishop later
but what I wanted to explain was that sometimes taking
a small material advantage is enough to win in the endgame
so u dont need to find a checkmate or the best combination even if there is one.
Hello. Thank you very much for your comments. I will try to implement.
Basically would not go so directly checkmate?
