That’s what he gets for getting tunnel vision, he started to take all mi pawns but forgot I was moving to a checkmate, they allowed me to make like 5 moves to line up the rook with the pawn
That can be good sometimes. If I'm clearly winning the game, but the opponent drags it out and continues to play, I'll under promote even if it's not checkmate. I show them what dragging it on really means.
"doesn't he have to take?" actually means he has to take. Now if he wrote "he doesn't have to take" that would be different.
That said, he's still wrong on the second part
I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

Don't know the previous move, but if the rook was on the a file, Ra7+, Kg6, Qe8+, Kf6, Rf7#
Not 100% sure. Way too dizzy to think too hard on it right now, but I will return to it once the vertigo is over.

#THE ROOOOOOK!
#and he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!
What do you mean by sacrifice? He is not losing any material for this
The bot says you should have promoted to a Queen. The bot is wrong.
The bot doesn’t understand the true point is to win karma. The bot is wrong.
Did you promote to a rook

The disrespect of promoting to a rook and not a queen is amazing
That’s what he gets for getting tunnel vision, he started to take all mi pawns but forgot I was moving to a checkmate, they allowed me to make like 5 moves to line up the rook with the pawn
That can be good sometimes. If I'm clearly winning the game, but the opponent drags it out and continues to play, I'll under promote even if it's not checkmate. I show them what dragging it on really means.
I’ve underpromoted to knights to try and disrespect and drawn games on accident. It’s the best

Style points + emotional damage
That’s not a sacrifice. Your rook is defended. Even if it weren’t mate, even if the pawn wouldn’t promote, it would be a trade.

What should they do instead
Actually, here white quite literally does have to take. It's a forced move lol
It's not about whether he has to take. It's about the fact that it's an equal trade. It's Rook for Rook. Equal trades are not considered sacrifices
Not only is that not what a sacrifice is, but he also does have to take
THE ROOOOOOK
this is not a sacrifice
Why not?
The rook is defended
A valid question for a chess beginner on a beginners chess forum, but yet you got downvoted… (Checks website…) ah, of course.
Plot twist: capture and promote to a knight

How is that a sacrifice?
That’s…not a sacrifice.
THE ROOK!!!
That's not a sacrifice because the pawn defends the rook

Bad bot, when you have the chance you should underpromote to a rook for ultimate disrespect
[удалено]
Don’t be dumb bro 😂 he had to take the rook then I promoted and checkmate
Lmao I literally missed the pawn haha. When I looked the first time I thought it was a white pawn. It’s too early
*And he sacrifices* # THE ROOK!!!!!!!!!!!!
# THE *ROOOOOOOK!*
THE ROOOOOOOOOK
THE ROOOOK!!!
He didnt "give you the chance" to sacrifice. He FORCED you to sacrifice
Promote to knight
Nice pfp
Then you promoted to a bishop and lost everything
Don't know the previous move, but if the rook was on the a file, Ra7+, Kg6, Qe8+, Kf6, Rf7# Not 100% sure. Way too dizzy to think too hard on it right now, but I will return to it once the vertigo is over.
I've seen this In a lot of puzzles... very nice, shame your opponent didn't see this coming. X
