    - Counterattack when a piece is threatened rather than retreating (0:54)
    - Develop all pieces, including connecting rooks, for full harmony (2:37)
    - Activate underused pieces, such as corner rooks, to maximize their potential (3:37)
    - Avoid unnecessary exchanges that could relieve your opponent's cramped position (7:11)
    - Utilize prophylactic moves to anticipate and prevent opponent's plans (8:00)
    - Sacrifice pawns strategically for greater piece activity and attacking chances (10:12)
    - Maintain tension and avoid exchanges when attacking to keep pressure on the opponent (11:02)

    Awesome game Igor! Here the solution to the puzzle:
    Qh2+, Kxh2 is forced
    Rf1 is a checkmate, because it leads to a discovered check by the dark squared bishop. The rook prevents the King from moving to h1 and the pawn prevents the king from going to h3.

    I believe the move is Rf5/Rf6/Rf7/Rf8, anyretreat move to stop blocking the queen-bishop battery, then Qh2# is unavoidable
    Oh, just checked with stockfish, which can delay one move by Qf3 sacrificing the queen, so this works but not as good as Qh2+ followed by Rf1# as others mentioned

    Well, Kh8 prevents the tempo gaining check by white's bishop at d5. This allows you to advance the pawn without giving the check. So, it serves a purpose.

I've beaten a high ranked player after strenuous efforts but I know I got into a number of good positions accidentally and that's why the different skill levels, so it was just a one off for me, while he may have played some inaccuracies. I made no errors according to the analysis, which was most surprising. I don't cheat and wouldn't know how.
