Sunday blitz chess with an unsound sacrifice

Quote:

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
― Bernard M. Baruch

Short sacrifice analysis

My move 20 (Kxd5) where I sacrificed a knight for pawn was not sound even though I could turn a passed pawn into a queen. My opponent should have responded by moving his b pawn to b5, blocking my b pawn from covering my c pawn.

2nd blunder

On move 29 I played by rook to c1 whereas I should have played my pawn to c7. He takes on c7 and I check on e8 with my queen where black has to move his king and I can snatch the rook on b5.

All in all it was an enjoyable game with lots of room for improvement.
