This game (while far from perfect) highlights the idea of gaining time or “a tempo” in chess. When you develop a piece while attacking you can force the opponent to waste time moving their pieces around the board. My opponent in the game continued to move their queen around the board and this gave me the time I needed to get all of my pieces in on the action. There is a nice mating sequence at the end of the game too. Can you spot it?
