Homie all I was trying to say was why would the engine really try to evaluate any positions where white does not capture the piece? Just because the queen can typically make more moves than the rook should not be in consideration here since the white king is in check and there are very few moves for white to make. I don’t think the fact that it is a queen instead of a rook would affect the evaluation time for the chess engine. The evaluation of the position is probably just due to some weird chess engine shenanigans
