Seems to me the correct move was white rook from c3 to g3. Am I wrong?
What's wrong with puzzle advice?

Take a look at this screenshot.
The instructor says white knight from g8 to f6 is best. The instructor says that white was correct, by moving thusly, by not getting "distracted by the checkmate threat..." Why doesn't black respond with black queen from d5 to g2, checkmate?
What am I missing here?
Nf6 put the black king in check, forking the king and queen. Depending on where the white knight was prior to that, would determine why that was the best move
