Fooling the opponent

Tonight I played in an online chess tournament and white was fooled when it took a pawn leaving its queen wide open for my queen to capture, but it could have happened to me if I didn't catch it at that moment?
This gave me a tactical advantage over my opponent like in previous games where I usually force them to blunder or pin their queen instead of waiting for an option to capture it on the next move that isn't always available.
My opponent was trying to fool me into blundering my queen also using their bishops and one leftover knight, but I was careful and eventually delivered a checkmate using one of my rooks after cornering and trapping white's king using my queen also which I still held onto!
