Game Analysis Incorrect
Sort:
Even though I think my question is pretty straight forward I’m more than happy to summarize. The end game analysis (possibly called report, I forgot which) gives you a report of your mistakes, best moves, blunders, etc; twice it said I had a “missed win” and the move it shows is wrong and does not get you checkmate. Hence my question, is this report sometimes incorrect?

I presume this is one of the games you are referring to?

The analysis suggests 20... Rb1 is a missed win for Black. It must be comparing the super high -77.4 evaluation in favour of Black to the mate in six alternative. Both moves are obviously completely winning. In fact, if you let the engine run a little longer to achieve a higher depth, it concludes it's mate in seven after playing 20... Rb1.
Oh okay well that makes more sense to me now; appreciate it
Maybe just a matter of search depth. Standard is 18 I think. That might cause some issues on deeper Variations

"missed win" can SOMETIMES refer to "missed mates" but also refer to "hey dude you missed this hanging piece". An extra piece SHOULD be enough to win the game; otherwise, you are making too many blunders 
Is the analysis you get at the end of the game sometimes incorrect? Twice now it’s been wrong about missed checkmates; once I was playing against my friend, I blundered by trying to checkmate him with my queen backed up by my rook, but his queen was in position to take mine thus getting his king out of check, but since he’s new and apparently had trouble taking my queen with his he just resigned; the second time was our last game and long story short all he had to do to get out of check was move his king up one space. To avoid confusion these aren’t the ways that I got checkmate (one game simply ending by resignation and not checkmate), but the end game analysis that tells you your best moves, mistakes, blunders, etc, and in this case missed mates.
