Firstly you could stop giving up pawns for no reason in the first couple of moves.
12... Nd5 with your bishop under attack?
24...Bg3??
Just not giving things away for nothing would be a big improvement.
How to turn a bad position around
Sort:
I noticed the bishop was taken whether I moved it or not.
Bg3 was tactic to sacrifice rook as well. I had end game well planned out. After 24...Rd1 I knew i had mate if i could force the queen away and take the bishop on e2. 24...f6 was simply an enticing move to make taking the rook look more intriging by opening up my king.
But the opening was just atrocious....
"I noticed the bishop was taken whether I moved it or not."
Bc6. It's protected.
26. Qxc7 wasn't forced, and without it, you've just given up a bishop for nothing.

The position was lost anyway, a last trick before resigning is very common.

Fair enough if that's what it was.
It wasn't forced but I knew it looked to good to pass up. I highly doubt he expected me to sac my second rook and wasn't even looking at that line. Before seeing what my plan was would you have taken the rook on c7? His idea was probably Qc4+ then Rxd4
Even after 26...Rxe3 I think you're still losing. Maybe white has to bail out with a repetition draw at worst:
I would have played 27...Qe2 28...Kg1 Rg3 29... Kh1 Qg2#
Please comment on what my opponent and I could have done better.
