I can't believe Black didn't win that game! At one point he was three minor pieces vs your one!
Good game, nontheless.

There are some blunders but I'm not one to talk. When I first looked at this, at around move 21 I began to think that you were spending an unnecessary number of moves for the win. I confirmed this with Rybka 3 which recommends 21. Bf7+ Kh8 22. Bxg8 Qc7 23. Ng6+ Kxg8 24. Nxf8 Kxf8 25. Qxf6+ Qf7 and perhaps 26. Qxf7+ (with a decisive material advantage).
I just had a quick look and may be wrong but, I think white missed a sassy checkmate,
51.Reb8+...Kb6
52.Rb6...++
As an aside, was the notation correct, is the 'e' needed?
51.Reb8+ or 51.Rb8
Well .. yes, that was the time I missed a lot of things actually. Instead of bringing my bishop onto g6,had I brought the knight, there was a royal fork waiting to happen and I missed that line totally OTB.
Seriously, even I could not believe that black lost that game despite being a couple of pieces up. The funny part was that my opponent starting scolding me in the midst of the match once my rooks started marching forward
Wow! Apparently I missed that rook checkmate on move 51 too!! :) lot of lessons for me .. I guess I have to focus more on my tactics.

Sac, Blunder, Sac, Save, Win ... literally that is how this game went for me. I did not have enough firepower to take the attack to completion and when I realized that mistake and was backing out, my opponent blundered to get me winning. I would like our fellow users to comment on this game and let me know where I can improve.
