Bump
Some missed opportunities. Could someone take a look at this game and see what I could have done better? Thanks!
First Game Analysis
Sort:
Instead of 24...Rxc2, it would've been cool to see the continuation if you played ...Ne2+. If rook takes, then you win his rook. If he just moves his king then just 25...Rxc2, with your knight stopping his bishop from protecting the c3 pawn. Obviously, the knight cannot be taken becase it is protected by the rook. At worst, you would have a bishop/rook endgame and a pawn majority
25...g6? isn't actually a mistake if you plan on getting your second rook in on the action. When i started playing, I lost count of the times when I threw away a winning position by not giving my king breathing space in the back rank, sending the second rook charging up and then getting mated. It's good that you saw the danger.
After 26. bd4, ...ne2+ would have forked the king and bishop and at least won you a pawn. Best case scenario would have the king moving up to the seventh rank, meaning you can take the bishop with the knight, but leaving a discovered check on the king! So you win a piece. If he just moves on the back rank, then fine, you just take the bishop, his rook takes the knight back but then you have his pawn on c3 to take.
But yeah, you won and in the end exploited his weak play well. Apologies for the very sketchy comments, never done this before either!

Thank you! You did very well. I felt like I missed a few things. Again, thanks so much for your comments. 
My first game to post on Game Analysis for...analysis.
I read the instructions, annotating my game without a chess engine and look forward to helpful analysis. Thank you!
The time control was 10 minute blitz. I didn't feel rushed in making my moves, so the blunders I made were not from time pressure.
