Is this not a checkmate?

Pretty sure this is mate for white. The black king is in check with no way to escape or capture the attacker and it is Black's move. Is there something I'm missing? Or is the game engine just having trouble with analysis?

Well apparently this site doesn't like it when you try to post images of the game, even though they provide the functionality right in the message. No way to edit the message either. SO LAME!

Kd7. You missed Kd7. A mate is a mate and a check is a check and they won’t mix up.

You can't ask others about an ongoing game, that's against the rules (cheating).

Perhaps you misunderstand - I wasn't asking how to win - was asking if the system had a glitch in recognizing a checkmate. Figured it out though.

Why can’t Black just take the rook?

You are too late to the party. The question was about a previous position. And it's an ongoing game.
