I did want to make that move. Yes, it's a material loss, but I still have the upper hand, and a knight in your position is actually pretty valuable. In the interest of time, I'm more interested in wiping out your pieces, then beating you with what remains. I clearly still have the advantage, and barring any stupid mistakes, I should be guaranteed a victory, likely after a pawn promotion. I'm cool with it. I thought it might make for a faster game in the long run.
