I would say you resigned about 7 ply too soon. You shouldn't be so trusting of
even lopsided evaluations:
1.Rg5 Kf8 2.Rf5
Ruffians choice, but better is 2.Rg7 Nd5+ 3.Kf2
Nf6 4.Kf1 winning easily
3...Ke7 3.Rh5
Or 3...Nxh5 4.h7 f2 5.Kxf2 g3+ 6.Kf3 g2 7.Kf2 wins.
4...Kf7 4.h7 Nxh5 5.h8Q Kg6 6.Qe8+
I got the impression that Ruffian doesn't seem
to understand this position particularly well.
7...Kg5 7.Qe7+ Kf5 8.Qc5+ Kg6 9.Qe5 wins.

I'm sure it didn't cost you anything. I hope you got some good rest!
