I should'a castled! (said Black after the game was over). I guess this tactic is called a deflection.

Good one. This is a tactic I am not very familiar with, so it was nice to see it in action. It took me about 5 tries to find the right move and a solid 5 minutes of thinking it through. I knew there were too many defenders but I could not see a way of changing that for a winning situation until I stumbled into it through trial and error.
