Materialistic?

I played a game where I had mate in one however I was so happy that I saw a way to both queen a pawn and still take the rook after a king rook fork with my knight I missed it. Saw it the instant I clicked submit move. Game was played on gameknot. He resigned one move later but I still feel silly for missing it.

Here I missed a mate in one to snatch a bishop. Thankfully this game was a while ago Game 1664062.
