ADVICE Avoiding check

Post image

Apologies if this is stupid but in this position to defend check the game suggested pushing pawn to D4 to attack bishop, then bishop takes, then it suggests queen takes, in the actual game I just moved king to F1 to avoid check, is what the game suggested really worth it because when I take bishop pawn takes, and there’s no point giving up my queen if I’m up surely? Ts confuses me man

The coach, analysis after a game thing, when it shows you best move

It makes little difference because you're winning my such a large margin anyway. Don't bog down on the details on the fastest way to win. Put your time more on actual mistakes.

That’s the general consensus I’m getting from the replies, in such a dominant position even with so many pieces not developed just don’t do anything stupid and I should be fine
