Hunting for Mistakes * Stephen vs. Bob

"r4rk1/1p1q1ppp/p3b3/4p3/P2nB3/6R1/1PP1QPPP/2B1R1K1 w - - 0 0"

It is White to move

The game was played in a county team championship, in March, 2010.
After long thinking (20+ minutes), Stephen, a 2200-player, went 1.Bxh7+ and offered a draw, although the opponent was rated hundreds of points lower. (It is not worth it.)
Did Stephen choose the strongest move over-the-board? (If not, why?)

After White's last 31.Rh4-h3??
it is Black to move

The game was played in the national team championship, on Dec-21, 2008.
I was the second player and missed the move that would have made White resign on the spot, due to excessive lack of sleep.
(Just a remark: I wouldn't like to boast myself here, but even if White had not blundered, Black had a superior position by move 30, almost winning.)

Hunting for Mistakes * me vs. KISS, Albert

After Black's last 43..h6xg5
it is White to move

The game was played in an open tournament in Berekfürdő, Hungary, on Sep-11, 2009.
I was the first player and did not find the winning plan. (As it turned out later, this was neither the first nor the last opportunity for the victory, thanks to the weak opposition, but I was extremely exhausted that morning, that's why I failed to find the moves, and even lost the game eventually due to a horrible blunder in an equal queens endgame after hours of play...)
