Your move was good but the computer can see a lot farther. If you read through the analysis, it shows you that your fork only gets you 2 points of material while a 10+ move sequence starting with 24.. Qb4+ gets you 4.
You shouldn't feel bad about playing the fork.
Hi everyone,
I'm a bit puzzled by a recent move I made. On move 24, I found a fork to the opponent's king and rook that seemed quite promising. I was under the impression that it was a "best", if not "great", move.
However, after reviewing the game with chess.com's engine, it rated the move as a "miss". When I explored the engine's suggested moves, it revealed a scenario where I only gained a pawn.
I'm hoping someone can help me understand why my original move was considered a miss?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
