Its a good attack and looks like you end up with 2 rooks v Q maybe. I have to say though, your opponent hardly seemed to try and attack did he? with your Q side in tatters I think I would have done better. Eg 18 Qa6+ Kb8 (Kd7 19 Nxd5 and the pawn is pinned) 19. Nxd5 Rxd5 stops you immediately doubling on the f-file.

And 14. Bxc6 is horrible if you take back with the Q, where's the defence??

Actuallyhe missed the 20 .. Rxf6 , after which black is losing . I think he was afraid to take the queen .

18...Nxe3? opens the file for his R pinninng your B, Bh3 or Qg6 look stronger.

21. Rxg2+ Kh1 22. Rxf6 dxe4 23 Rf2 Threatens to draw. The White Q cant defend by Qa8 + and Qh8 because blacks h pawn is a traitor blocking the h file
