I signed up just to comment on this video, at 2:12 why can't black move his knight back to capture the queen instead of using the king?

You really didn't to mill his pawns on the 7th with your rook. A win was way before that.

when the knight took the other knight on c6 why couldnt the queen go to f6

@nutterbutter658 i would rather lose a pawn than lose castling

[quakegen]

@TheAkarcher91 Because white could capture the pawn on e5 and be up in material.
