When I saw the move, I thought it was a blunder, but stockfish very quickly showed a winning advantage. Do others have as much difficulty seeing the winning move as I did?

Fork if captured.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
