Using a distraction

Today I played in an online chess tournament and used one of my rooks as a distraction since black was attacking it with their knight, while I captured black's queen and also avoided a trade since black's bishop was in the path of it but was still focused on attacking valuable pieces with black's knight like my queen for instance that I then moved out of harms way avoiding black's bishop also, and not trading queens since they overlooked that option from before just as I had predicted black would.
The game went on for a little longer till black resigned, but it seemed logical to resign than to keep playing because black was dropping pieces like dominoes and time to their opponent, and that's why I won!
