I think stockfish analyzed this wrong

Hi, this is my first post here. Hopefully the board shows up right.

Stockfish is saying I made a blunder here on move 24 Qxf7. It's telling me I should've moved 24 Kf1 which I think is a mistake, Rxe3 would follow. The king is in a safe position here at g7. Supposedly the best counter move to my so called blunder, 24 Qxf7 would be Ne5. That looks like a bad move also because 24 Qxf7 Ne5 25 xe5 then whatever black does probably d4 then 26 Nd7+ Qxd7 or else checkmate.

Am I right or am I wrong here that 27. Qxf7 is not a blunder? I have other examples questioning stockfish's analyzation that I might post here later.



That discovery check is harmless though. The rook has no good spot to move.
Where? The king can just take the rook it is unprotected. Please show me the annotation where this happens.
One of the moves black has to find is Ne5! Can't say it's obvious. It defends the D7 square from any knight check and from white threat of winning the rook with the queen.
White cannot take the Knight on E5 with the pawn otherwise black does Rf3 to F7, discovery check from the bishop toward white king on f2, and the rook winning the queen. The knight that went on E5, allowed the rook threats of discovery attacks with check AND defends black's position.

Stockfish ends up recommending that White queen take on h5 so that there would not be any discovery attacks with the bishop, as the queen is attacking the bishop, however it does not stop black Rook from taking on F3!, double check by bishop and rook, and rook cannot be taken by king due to Knight on e5. White king will be under heavy fire by black after black even captures the e3 pawn with check, sacrificing a rook, which apparently is enough advantage for black due to white king being on the middle of the board.
Oh ok I see it now thanks. That was a REALLY bad blunder if black finds Ne5. I found out how to put that position in the stockfish engine and that one blunder causes me to lose the game with perfect play, that before that move had better position on, even if I don't take the knight on e5.
Usually you never want to give your opponent discovery attacks. You was lucky because your opponent was low rated. 20mins rapid is more than enough to spare time and find right crushing move.


And there is 1 thing to remember also:

Never doubt in stockfish. There is no chance to stockfish make a mistake in evaluation especially in the low rated games.

>Never doubt in stockfish.

Amen.
