Why is it telling me the queen trade (Qxf7) is the right move? Shouldn't it be Rxf7?

Gained 400 elo in 12 months while taking a 6 month break (ignore the 150 point tilt just before that lol). I know so much more but still know very little. Is 2000 in 12 months a fair goal?

I thought they hung a Knight. I took and should have lost but still won.

What about it?

The battlefield was looking VERY grim for my opponent as I had a +6 material advantage. It was a position that many would resign. The opponent had just played Rg8 setting up a fairly powerful battery on my g pawn. He had played the BEST move! I however was unaware that it was indeed a good move. The main thing that I saw was that he had just left his Knight undefended. I calculated Qxf4, Rxg2+, Rxg2, Rxg2+, Kxg2 and thought that I could effectively capture his Knight along with stopping the powerful attack on my g pawn and on my King. I played Qxf4... I was feeling good as I now had a +9 material advantage. What could go wrong? I was unaware that Qxf4 was a blunder... the worst kind of blunder... a blunder that allowed a FORCED checkmate on my King!!!!!!!!!!! My opponent was also unaware that Qxf4 was a blunder... They were feeling pretty bad as they had a -9 material advantage. They figured enough was enough and BEFORE looking for a decent move (which would have been a forced mate-in-two) they resigned. -9 material advantage... but my King was going down... --- MORAL OF THE STORY----- never give up... NEVER surrender... you may have already won! But instead handed over everything to your LOST opponent.
