13...Nd4 looks weak.  Safer is 13...Bb6. 

 

Instead of 17...Nf8, perhaps stronger is 17...Nxg5 18.hxg5 Qe8 and 19...Rxh5. 

 

19.b4 looks too slow.  Maybe 19.d4 cxd4 20.Bxd4 exd4 21.Qxd4+ (at least a draw with perpetual check). 

 

21.Bxe5 may be wrong.  Perhaps better is 21.Bg4 (preserving the Bishop) Rxh4+ 22.Kg2. 

 

22....Bf3 may be OK, but 22...Be2!! is the better move.  If 23.Qxe2, then 23...Rxh4+ 24.Kg2 Qxg5+ 25.Qg4 Qxg4 mate.  Another possibility is 22...Qxg5! and if 23.hxg5, then 23...Bf3+ 24.Kg1 Rh1 mate. 

 

24.Qxf3 is the losing move.  Best is 24.Qf5 and if 24...Rxh4+ 25.Kg3 and White should be winning.  If 24...Nxe5, then 25.Qe6+ and 26.Qxe5.

 maybe this is right but isnt 19. ... g6! so strong to prevent Rxh5?

19.b4 looks too slow.  Maybe 19.d4 cxd4 20.Bxd4 exd4 21.Qxd4+ (at least a draw with perpetual check).

 

i think i will not play 19. ... cxd4 because it will expose my king

 

 22....Bf3 may be OK, but 22...Be2!! is the better move.

 

i want to try Be2 so at this move so (shame on me) i use the analysis board and found the refutation 23.  Rg1. can you find a refutation for black after 23. Rg1 my friend, i spent about 15 mins back then but i failed to find a good move for black after that.

 

very nice comment, thanks for the advice. it is noted my friend.
