Imagine analyzing a game and "M290" shows up. And then you play the "wrong" move and it's a "miss" 💀

Bro all you have to do is move the king and once the three pawns all have been pushed, sac the rook. Then Black's three pieces are pinned so you can promote the a7 pawn. Black is forced to take your bishop with his rook, and you recapture with the queen. Black is forced to play d2 or dxe2, and they both end with the same result: Qxd8#.
