If you play 1. Qxf6, the opponent will trade queens. You are still down a rook and you will lose.

Did you forget to count the pieces?

Do you realize that you must be prepared for every move the opponent plays? You can't just hope that the opponent blunders away the game. You must find the move that wins no matter what happens.

Why my opponent didn't exchange the knights but took my queen
and as a result of that gave me knight for free?

Thank you for advance for replies

That's actually a good question.

My answer: the puzzle is trash. It's not a tactics puzzle, just some random position. Black is lost because his king is so unsafe. It has nothing to do with tactics.

This is super easy, so you should answer it yourself.

Hint: you forgot to count the pieces again.
