excellent because Stockfish thought black was losing and this was just another way to lose. eventually it thought the king would be able to hide in squares protected by the queen. however, after Rf8+ the king can't go anywhere, the rook will still be able to check... all this is just assumptions though...

 

The king can't capture back on f8? I don't get it..

You may now all applaud. 

i didn't applaud, i just expressionlessly stared at my screen and started typing this post

Don't worry. We all know you were applauding on the inside.

applauding is a physical outward reaction. Are you saying the quote might have given him a seizure or heart attack?

He was clapping in his mind.
