it is a simple law of power you employed there, simply distract your opponent, keeping him off balance and not allowing him to go on the offensive. You create diversions and while he fends off that go for the coup de grace with a well planned pincher movement thus rendering him helpless. You deflect his bids and have him spread himself thin, you can then pick your auctions and pounce, while his hesitation and indecisiveness cost him victory. Better yet next time have your battle staged so that the auction is won even before you place your bid. But well done this time around.
