The tofu attack

I need help to understand how I won this game:

 The game was going to be a disaster.

But 16.Rxa8!! changed everything.

I call it the «Tofu attack®», no-one can escape that amazing unexpected strategy (18 moves)

 

But I need to know how to get that same exact position every single game (as white)?

16. Rxa8  Qxa8

corners the queen in a blocked diagonal, but in an open file. You could think of attacking the center for the time being, while black has to make another move(Tempo) to redeploy his queen back to occupy the center.

LOL gg wp, what else can I say? Your opponent blundered badly when he moved his rook at the end. But that often happens in bullet games.

Threads like this can make you lose even the brain cells you didn't know you had.

32. D7 B5 ( black pawn is a safe, and black rook stand in F8)

33. D8=Q (very bad move) RxD8

Great game! Your ability to create something out of nothing is simply magical. One minute the position is closed and doesn't look particularly interesting, and the next you have a passed pawn that you opponent can't stop.

The black rook must be a cast member of The Walking Dead to move to f7.  Thank you for the Tofu Trophy you awarded me.  It remains in my profile.

Nice game, Tofu guy! Thanks for the tofu you sent me back in the day, by the way. Good deeds and good games shall be remembered! :) Best of luck to you in the Future!

I think this is a matter of underdevelopment in the opening, black trades off the night when I think bishop to e6 would have kept tempo up. Then he falls behind again with Bxb3?? So why is this the move? Black agian loses tempo, and not only does it put him further behind in development it trades off a good peice for a bad one. Granted whites bishop is active outside of the pawn chain, I think trading this bishop was too early, black needs to develop his peices first. 

Black 10. BXb3 doesn't make sense for one. Why trade a good bishop for a bad one? 

Then he blunders again with 11.h6 because he traded off the good bishop for a bad one he is going to have problems developing the black bishop, if he is going to make h6 his move he should put the remaining bishop g5 instead of a5?? I am not sure what black was doing with this move. bishop to g5 for black is better because It forces white to take or defend against the bad bishop. Black may want to trade off the bishop and have a knights end game. 

By move 24 white has a great advantage the pawn structure is 5 on 3 pawns are controlling the center and are gaurded by the bishop and queen. Blacks knight is horribly placed there is simply no where for it to go to improve the possition. 

What won this game is good control of the center, black traded a good bishop for a bad one. Black continued to keep said bad bishop. Black blundered greatly in the end game.

the defence of the e5 pawn is weak

Is it called "tofu" because, like the processed bean curd, it's supposed to be really great and versatile but, in reality, is just gross and unappealing?
