Nice game but a terrible resignation by your opponent IMO. If your extra pawn was passed or semi-passed as part of a queenside pawn majority then it would look pretty grim (still not always resignable) but your extra pawn is part of a kingside majority and on e6 so not advanced. White has good chances for the draw or even a win on time maybe.
White probably resigned because he just blundered a piece.

I completely agree with you. White should have made me win the game. The continuation would probably have gone something like this:
23...Nxe4 24. fxe4 Qxe2 25. Rxe2 f5!

Oh, he sure did.

I prefer 24... Qxe5.
This is not what I suggested... Please, read more carefully.
Did you analyze 14.Nxf7 ?
Those who know me know that I'm out of my comfort zone when playing closed and positional type of games. This is especially true in blitz games, where I favor open positions. Sometimes, however, my opponents kinda force me into those quiet games. I surprised myself with how well I played in the featured game, given that this was a 3 minute match where one slip could cost either player. Admittedly, much of my success in this game has to do with white's non-aggressive play, or (as you will see) white's failed attempt to bait my queen. Enjoy!
