if i move my queen to c6, yeah, it may very well be. i'm going to try something else out though.

Can anyone explain how both of these things are true? I made the blunder with the end goal of what they call an excellent move.
My fast guess is you gave up the only open file on the board, black should have played Re7 followed by Rfe8 instead of Rxc5.

I can see your reasoning. But here is another that makes no sense at all. It’s not like I’m planning 4 moves out. On this one if my opponent takes with pawn then on the next move I can threaten Queen with my other knight and they can’t do anything about it because of the reveal check. If they move into the corner then it’s mate in short order.

I usually gloss over any single ? errors that come up, but if I had to make a decision here, Qh5 leads to forced mate.

Edit to add color, a realistic move order would be Qh5 Re8 Qh7+ Kf8 Qh8+ Ng8 Nh7# 1-0.
