I played this game pretty well I think, and I was wondering how solid my playing was, paying special attention to the sacrifice on move 12.  Also I would like to know how the game might have progressed if my opponent hadn't resigned (a little early I think).  Thanks!

The game would've continued cxd5 Bxd5 Rxd5, so I think it was right to resign there.

20. ...Rhf8 21.cxd5 Rxf3 22.dxe6+ Kxe5 23.Re1+ Kd6 24.gxf3 Kd7  

Black comes out with two pawns down but d6 pawn will go , and also black has a little better pawn structure. The pawn ending is probably draw although im not shure about that. :)

instead of 13.Be6+ better was Bf4 to bring your other rook out into action

  20....Rhe8  21.cxd5  Bg8  22.Rg5 Rac8  black will just be ok for awhile

Thanks everyone!

 

j1m1 - what if after 21...Rxf3, 22 Rxe5+?  After the king moves out of check, I take his rook and head into the end game with a hefty advantage.

yeah you're right. Missed that one. :)

14. Be6 was a mistake black play 14...Kc7 15. Qxd6+ Kxd6 16.Bf4+ Kc5 and white can't continue the attack.

14.Bf4 like kco suggested was best.
