Why the rook doesn't take the queen

Hi, the software tells me I shouldn't have moved the queen but instead take the white queen.

I don't understand why, can you explain ?

Both queens are protected, so if both players capture a queen, then both players will lose the piece they captured with.

You capture with a bishop and white captures with a rook... so you will win a rook for a bishop.

Also, I'm a bit concerned that you might've eaten something which is past its expiry date.

Ok, thanks, I understand that, (is it a joke Craig or do I miss your point?)

But I got another, related, question.

Here, why does the pawn move to A3 instead of the rook take the queen ?

Queen for rook is 9-5 = 4
Winning a knight and pawn is 3+1 = 4

It's not an instructive moment, so just ignore the engine. Black is winning either way.

One of your browser tabs caused my concern. It's really just my way of cautioning against giving away more information about yourself than you intend to on the internet.

At the top right of the screen, there is the Analysis tab. It brings you to the Analysis page where you can see the engine moves and the evaluations, and you can try any move, back and forth, as you like.
