I just captured a pawn, lol

Fun tactic I found in one of my games. It took a move for me to see it, can you spot it faster?

Can you find the move in this position that wins an exchange?

Can anyone explain to me why this was a bad move?

What about it?

Evaluation dropped from equal to worse.

How is this a mistake?

What about it?

If I push the pawn.. Wouldn't the queen take it, I take the queen and the bishop takes my queen? Instead, I won a pawn.. Isn't that better than losing a pawn?

17 moves, 99% accuracy, Greek Gift mate. Probably my favorite game I ever played

How is this not a blunder?
