Alternatives could go towards several easy wins, although white is lurking too coordinate with the queen and bishop for a drawish mating net — see one of the lesser accurate examples below where white might be able to win back a piece, but all for nought unless black is careless in defense of FGH678

I got lost in the weeds. Call the Blunder Police. When the king hunt looks pretty, check if you still have a board left. Slow down, name the mistake, don’t do it again.
