Queen Sac for the win!

The Game does have a small struggle in beginning where my pawn pushes gave me weaknesses that allowed him to win a pawn on me later. Eventually back rank tactics allow me to sacrifice the queen which he denies to take allowing me an secure the victory.

Wow spectacular sacrifice.

Loads of errors, after a very poor opening. For example 14...Bg5 instead of 14...Nxb2 (which is also winning) nets a queen for peanuts, or the king after 15.f4 Bh4+ 16.Kf1 Qc5.

You suggest after 15.Rxb2 to play 15...Bc3+ 16.Kf1 Re2, which is a blunder (17.Nxc3 and Black has nothing). 16...Bxb2 wins instead, though.

21...Nxe5 is rather a blunder on Black's hand than a start of a combination. The relatively lesser evil would be 22...Qxd1 (which wasn't played) 23.Qxe5 Qd4, when Black may hold.
