I think that should have read, "Why would black play G1?!".

Beyond that, the only thing I've concluded so far (this *is* a complex
position) is that white H2 was the only choice at that point. White
seems to die quickly in the alternative moves I looked at (G1, H3, B3),
and the white chain in the middle is too big to sacrifice.

>> However I wonder where was the mistake: H2, B3 or much before, i.e.

I prefer white 30 at G2 instead of C1, which seems to go well for white.
(if black H3-ish then white C1; if black C1 then white G4; did I miss
something?)
