📘 12...Nh7!?
With the typical plan of piece attack on the kingside by Qf6, Nf4, and Ng5.
The alternative is 12...c6 planning Qc7, Be6, Rad8, Rfe8 and d5 at an appropriate moment.

📘 11...Kh8!?
A novelty. 11...h6 is the common move here. The idea of Kh8 is to play Rg8, and Qf8 to exchange the bad bishop. If white plays Qd2, black can consider h6, Nh5, and f5 to start an attack on the kingside.

📕 20...f5 may seem ok to you, but fails to the intermediate move h6:
21.h6! Qh8 22.ef5 gf5 23.Qe3! fg4 24.Qg5+ Kf7 25.Qe7+ and Qxc7+-
20...Bxg4?! unnecessarily gives up two bishops.
Considering the dynamic factors, 20...gxh5! is the correct move. After 21.Ne3 Bg4 or 21.Nxf6+ Kh8 black is ok.
