Scotch Game Revenge

Puzzle moments in the description.

Whoa. A few days ago I got completely crushed in the Scotch Game, and once again I felt like I was constantly on the verge of falling for a trick. Struggle along with me as I face a very complicated game.

I missed a bunch of tactics in the middle game as my opponent attacked me relentlessly. All things considered, I'm happy with how I did, but see if you can find some of the moves I missed! I'm not going to do "real" puzzles here, because some of it is really hard to explain, but pay particular attention to these moves:
Move 12 (10:45)
Move 17 (24:29)
Move 18 (24:53) -- Pause this one if you need to think about it because I find the solution pretty quickly. Game Review shows this is a "brilliant move" so that's cool!
Move 22 (28:29) -- Trap the rook! I stumble into this, but I think you can calculate it from here in a forcing way.

I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you next time.
