and is it possible 21...RxP?
Reasons for resignation
Wouldnt it be easier to ask him why he resigned as hes a pal. Asking any of us only will get you a guess on our part...

no, it is not a friend, just a guy I played against, pal is a kind way of speeching (well, maybe not, I think in Spanish and then translate to English), I know English speakers talk different
Well, hre are a few reasons then,
He saw you had a winning position, he had to go somewhere and resigned, he didnt want to finish the game, he resigned. I can go on, but whats the use in guessing. You may never know the reason why he resigned...
At a guess - if White does anything to defuse the coming fork (22... Ng3+), then follows 22... Nxd4 23.Rxd4 Qa2!, and White cannot prevent mate, as the second R is also waiting to swing into action on g8 if the first one has to be sacced.
Edit - you´ve also got the possibility of 22... e3 followed by Qe4, which is even nastier.
No we played 2 games, first I lost and then I won this after his resignation, he asked me immediately for a rematch, so it was not his mommy calling him, but I don't know why he thought the game was lost, many people continue playing even with a queen down, and this position is still double edge plus the time factor...
could anyone with an engine give me an evaluation and possible continuations?
I was playing a game against a pal higher rated than me in blitz, I wonder if there is a strong reason in the ending position in order to resign, I do feel my position may be winning but I had 1:30 in the clock while he has more than 3:00, so still he could have tried to win unless there is some tactic around...
