Failure to defend

Here my partop (partner's opponent) wasted a number of moves with ineffective one-move attacks.  This is how it ended.  I can sit and my partop has no recourse:

Black's first attack is easily repelled.  Here he played @e4 threatening to take f3.  White would have to recapture with the g-pawn leaving a weakness on h3 or recapture Rxf3 or Qxf3 leaving his rook or the queen exposed.  White plays fxe then Bxe4, Nxe4 Bxe4, @f3:
Here Black has played Nf5.  White makes the mistake of playing Qxe6 instead of the e-pawn.  Black play B@f7.  Now White cannot retreat the queen and defend the e-pawn.  Nxe6 is not serious because of the loss of the pawn, but because of the proximity of the White king:
Again, White attacks instead of defending.  He plays Bxc7 and Black plays Qxd4:
Black gets in @e2.  Again White fails to defend and plays Ne7+, another one-move threat:
The partop plays @c3, ignoring exfQ+:
Black has won a rook for a pawn and is ready to attack again:
Black was forced to move his queen, so he moves to g5, threatening a possible attack on g2.  Black is up a rook on a sparse board, so he is winning:
White parries the threat to g2, but Black has another more serious threat with @e2.  If Re1, @d2.  Black will win the rook and keep his queen.  White plays B@d3, losing another rook for a pawn:
Here, with Black to move, Rb8 is a serious threat with N@e2+ for Black to follow:
Black makes a one move threat with @e7.  He should have saved the pawn. White plays Qc4 to stop N@e2.  If he had saved the pawn, he could have played @e2.

Rh3+ is another useless check.  Qe2 bad, but there isn't anything better.  Here Qxf1 loses to N@e2, but If White white were up time, he might be able to get a knight from his partner and put it on e1 or d1.  Instead he plays g3.  He still might have been able to hold if he was up time, but he is down time:

And this is the final position on the right board.  One the left board I played B@d7+.  While the time is displayed incorrectly on the right board, they are in fact down time, and they resigned:
