Lucky for me.

And 31... Kc8 looks like a draw so, yes, you were very lucky.

Max Euwe always warned about playing f7-f6 in the opening without having to. In this case, the well-known fried liver theme crops up. Bear with me, this one is actually rather good!
5... f6? 6. Nxe5 (threatens Nf7)
6... dxe5 or fxe5 (does not matter here)
7. Qh5+ Kd7 (or 7... g6 8.Qxg6+ etc.)
8. dxe5 (this prevents white's attack from being interrupted by Nf6 on the next move and more importantly, threatens e6+ and mate, regardless if d6 or f6 are still on the board. Work that one out yourselves!)
8... dxe5 or fxe5 (moving either pawn up one square does not seem to help any either)
9. Qxe5 (This is a double threat: 10.Qe6+ and 11.Qf7#, or 10.Qxg7, winning back the material with interest. Black has only one move that covers both threats, so black's next move seems the most sensible)
9... Qf8 (what's a nice woman like you doing on a square like that?)
10. Be6+ Kd8 (to keep the c8 bishop covered)
11. Bxc8 Kxc8 (white's attack now runs out of steam, but wait!)
12. Qf5+ Qxf5
13. exf5
Let's take stock. White now has two pawns for the piece, cannot be prevented from castling either way and his Queen rook is pretty well hemmed in. That does not look bad at all, even if this analysis did not come up as the clean forced win I'd hoped for. But as chess is also a battle of nerves, chances are that the black player would have overlooked some of the dead losses from the above.
