why did the game review engine say that a pawn should’ve been promoted to a rook instead of a queen?
Sort:
I did an analysis on my latest game and the game review engine says that my opponent made a mistake by promoting his pawn to a queen instead of a rook. Why did it do this?

Maybe it would have been a draw if hè promoten to a Queen?
What do you mean? There’s nothing a rook can do that a queen can’t.

It doesn't say a rook promotion is better when I look at it. There's no reason for an underpromotion at all, either.
Sometimes you have to give it a moment; I once played a rook sac that was considered a mistake at first, but then it was brilliant when I checked again.
Edit: I looked at the wrong move. It actually says they're both equal (+M11), which makes sense, seeing as that piece has to be taken either way, meaning it doesn't really matter.
