Just a quick note. You do realize right beneath the moves made/suggested it tells you follow-up plays?

Aahh, ok, interesting, had never paid attention to this. So, not so sure how i am supposed to read this tho. To me, in the first pic,  it just feels like i am giving my knight away to the Q no ??

The first example Ne4 makes no sense?

The position makes no sense but the move does.
5. ... Nxe4 6. QxN d6 7. Nf3 (say) Bf5 8. Qxb7 Nc2+

Quite so. 5. ... Nxe4 6. QxN and like you I first thought whaaaat ??
But black gets a lot of tactics for the sacrifice.
I did not see it staring at 5. ... black to play, took me the best part of ten minutes to get that from 6. ... black to play.

What you are being shown is the consequences of a lemon 11. ... Be6 with best play AND
What is best line had you found 11. ... Nxe4
What you are not being shown is why the 12. QxN is so bad for white in the 11. ... Nxe4 variation.
