Here a few points where I think your opponent went wrong:

- 10. 0-0-0?! he castled right into your action. Noth lethal in itself, but why not simply Bd3 and castle kingside?

- 21.Rc2? With this move he leaves the h1-rook unprotected, allowing you to win a piece later on (you took advantage of that effectively!). Instead Qc2 looks a lot better. The g-pawn would have been poisoned then (Qxg2? Ng5! and the queen is trapped!)

On your side, your 'weaker' moves came when the game was already won. Probably you wanted to 'cash' safely, thereby not looking at the sharper/faster continuations:

- 25. ... Qxh4?! wins a pawn which causes you later some concerns (31.Qh2). Instead, Qf1! wins the game very fast. White cannot meet all the threats. Example: Rc3? and both your knight sac Nxd4 as well as the simple Qxf2+ win easily

- 28. ... Qe4 here too, you could have made your knight sac already. Although the queen exchange offer is very understandable in this position, since it did not involve any calculations=risks

Good game!
