Answers.Text: Thank you. This is really well explained. I didn't look beyond losing the knight, or if I did, didn't think of the Rf2+ decoy to let the queen in.

Title: What is the reasoning behind the suggested move?
ThreadText: # What is the reasoning behind the suggested move?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2023-01-20)
  
  In this game, my actual move was Qg6, leaving the knight on f3.
  
  Why does chess.com suggest Ne1+ ?
  
  I figure it would just be taken by the rook, but the engine suggested white would have played Kf1.
  
  The text says this will win the white queen. I don't get it.
