That lesson was looking for checkmate, not just a check.
Not a check?

it's because if you do any other move apart from the one it want's you to do and a few select moves then it'l say that move. and because that move is so terrible the makers didn't expect you to do that move.
Can you please tell me why this isn't a check? I understand that knight can eventually capture the queen, or black's bishop can just block the path to the king. However, how is this not a check?
