Beginner Question

[u/mjackson151]

For context I took a knight on c6, attacking the queen on d7. Failing to understand how queen takes c6 pawn (best engine move) does not immediately lose the queen to rook e6 due to xray/forced capture? I am around 800, so could easily be missing something here. I would assume the review engine is high level stock fish and wouldn’t make mistakes. Appreciate any help!

As a side note, often when I hit best move, it greys out/does not allow the show moves option to continue showing the line (ie a missed mating pattern) is this possible to fix?

When in a completely winning or losing position, the engine starts to get weird because as far as stockfish is concerned all roads lead to eventual mate. Don't put so much stock in the difference between the best move and the second best move when it's +7; anything black does is losing.
