30...Qf5!
The difficulty here is maybe that, when conducting an attack on the king, you are disinclined to opt for an exchange of queens. Yet in this case, Black's attack continues with great force. The pawn on g2 is deprived of a defender and ... h4-h3 is a nasty threat.
31.Qxf5 exf5 32.Ra3 Nc4 33.Bxc4 bxc4 34.Re6
34...c3
But now 34...Bxg2+ 35.Kh2 Be4 was a pretty serious alternative.
35.Rxf6 h3 36.Rxh6 hxg2+
36...Rxg2+ seems more forcing, but Black won easily anyway.

Here White continued with 12.Ng5. What would be his idea and should it work out?
12.Ng5 h6 13.Bxc6
This demolition of Black's pawn structure was the idea.
13...bxc6 14.Nf3 Qxh4 15.Nxh4
Now if White had some time to arrange his pieces he would have a good case against the isolated doubled c-pawns. As it is, however, Black is easily quick enough to resolve matters and exchange the weak pawns, while preserving his pair of bishops.

Black to move
Black decides to transfer the king to the other wing because it will not be safe on the kingside. In fact, he should have started preparations for this on the previous move, when he retreated his knight from d7 to b8.
23.Rb1
Immediately switching his attention to the queenside, trying to open up lines there.
