Depth 18 Engine Says My Checkmate Is a Blunder?! 🤔♟️

I was feeling happy.
Queen flies in — opponent’s king cornered.
Game over.

The position? Crystal clear mate in one.
Confidence: 100%
Reality: Completely wrong.

The engine says blunder?

I gave a checkmate, not a mistake.
Is the engine trolling me ????

Now THAT's RIDICIOLOUS! It says it's a blunder, because he favored the other checkmating move. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Ah yes, classic engine behavior:
"You delivered checkmate... but not my favorite flavor of checkmate." 🍦♟️

that doesn't look like the chess.com platform - not trying to be rude or anything, but the engine wouldn't do that, the chances are mega low. you could have added the blunder symbol next to it.

I don’t understand how this is possible. It should say best. They both should!

No worries, I get where you’re coming from! 👌

However, this genuinely happened - not on Chess.com, though; you're right about that. It was on a different platform.

And yep, I double-checked - it flagged the checkmate as a blunder, probably because it preferred another mating line.
