  <p>Some advices:</p>

  <li>Improve your opening repertoire, what I saw is very risky -> it might cost you in the future if you continue to open this way;</li>
  <li>Work on tactics, that <code>Nxe4</code> blow was obvious;</li>
  <li>Find a book/online tutorial/... on basics of opening play -> you wasted tempo several times without any good reason to do so;</li>
  <li>Generally speaking, you played well for your level of skill -> keep improving, you have good prospects in becoming good player.</li>

Answers.Text: Well, I kept playing these kind of game every time, always sacrificing to open up my opponent for checkmates, but I've been making lots of blunders 'cause of this. Maybe I'm too engrossed with Fischer's play.

Comments.Text: I don't understand why White resigned either.  Black has no forced win in this position, and after the N moves, White should eventually be able to double rooks on the 7th rank, a very powerful alignment.

Comments.Text: It appears that you lost on time control, so the issue is not really with your moves but with your time control. Of course, it depends what time controls you were playing here. Perhaps you should play a longer time control so that you can develop your tactical skills. Positionally and strategically, you played well. But you missed many opportunities to gain material in the center against the d and e pawns. As a result, your opponent attacked your queen vigorously. This likely drained the time on your clock.
