why white did not move RdxQe2?

Incredible puzzle but other options better. I wish I could be first some day but need to either stay up all night or move to India.
You could move to Alaska. They don't have a knight. You can probably see Alaska from where you live.

Kinda not what I was expecting... but I still got it... there is a forced mate in two moves... 3rd anyway
Please show us the forced mate in two moves.I see a sure win for black unless he blunders, but no quick forced mate. I found several very different continuations. I think that white must offer to trade queens on the next move (to prevent a quick mate). So one of the variations starts out 4. Qe3 Qxe3, 5 Rxe3 Rxf6. (Another is 4. Qf2 Qxf2, 5. Rxf2 Kxf2) Eventually, white is forced to trade rooks, and the knight advantage is overwhelming. In fact, white must be careful to avoid situations in which a check by the knight forces him to trade his rook for the knight. For example:4. Qe3 Qxe35. Rxe3 Rxf66. Re7 Rf77. Re8 Kg78. h3 Nc69. Re4 Re710. Rf4 g511. Rgr h612. h4 Ne513. Rg3 g414. h5 Kf315. Re3 Nf3+16. gxf3 Rxe3
I'm sure we can find less-than-best moves on both sides in this sequence (and in others I looked at), but the point is, white is forced into a losing end game.
