This was a position in a game I just played, I have black pieces. The move I played here was f6 but the top engine move (>10 eval points for black better than my move) just felt strange to me. I had to go in analysis mode and play it out several moves before I could see why it was good. Can you see the move?

Rxe3 screams out to me Fork with the knight, push the pawn, activate the other rook Yours pieces active, white inactive f6 invites pressure imo, the rook is coming Always always always seize the initiative My biggest lesson from chess Always

Rxe3+ is correct! My beginner brain did not see beyond “bishop is guarded so can’t take with rook” during the game. When game review said Rxe3+ is best I saw “if king takes then I skewer with Re8+ but Kf2 will guard rook so skewer won’t work”. Engine analysis provided follow up Nd3+ which wins back rook!
