When You Lose Your Queen Play it Out

Maybe I wasn't the most focused and left my queen open :/ Instead of resigning I decided to play it out and could spot a potential (1400s defiantly don't play the best moves) sequence of exchanges that could benefit me. Here I am posting it cause it somehow happened and wanted to share. Hope it's somewhat interesting. Also just skip to move 11 I'm not sure if lichess creates a new link per move or whatnot.



General advice if you're low rated like me play it out even if down material. Chances are they will also blunder or lose on time. I never understood those instant resigners if down material especially while being positional better because of it.
Well, at move 16.Kd1 I think that 16.Kf1 is better. Also, at move 16.Ke2 maybe 15.Kf1 was a little bit better again because the king is farther from your pieces in both cases. You may be able to win the rook on a1 if the bishop comes eg to d4. If you manage to win a piece more you will be better because the queen is good if she has targets and at this point she doesn't.
At 3.dxc5 you traded you d pawn for a c pawn, shouldn't have done that, also don't try to mate your opponent in four moves, even if you win like that you will learn nothing new, play good moves anticipating the good moves, forsake hope chess
