    Answer

    That’s because after the best move (Qxf5) black can’t recapture the queen. If they do (as was the case for my opponent) there’s simply Bxb5, which is a double check and mate.

    After white takes the queen the best move for black is Bd6 according to the engine, and black is just down a queen, with white having an advantage of +5.46.
