The game was played as part of Monthly Classical Arena on 02 Feb'24.

I trapped higher rated opponent's pieces, threatening checkmate.


In the game, I strategically laid many traps for the queen, eventually getting it, post destroying all other major / minor pieces.

The game was played with very high accuracy.

It was part of Hourly Rapid Arena on 24-02-2024.

I am sure few puzzles can be extracted out of it.
