I was playing a game against one of the chess.com bots, as shown below (I was playing as white). On analysing the game afterwards, I'm aware I made a *lot* of mistakes, but the one I'm really confused by is move 29.

Stockfish claims that before `29. Qd5` I had a couple of different forced mates available, but all of them require black to play rdd6 at some point - for example, `29.Qb7 rd7 30.Qb8+ rd8 31.Qc7 rdd6 32.Bxd6 rxd6 33.Qxd6 h4 34.Bh5 h3 35.Bxf7#` and `29.Qa7 rdd6 30.Qb8+ kd7 31.Qb7+ ke8 32.Qc8+ ke7 33.Qc7+ ke8 34.Bxd6 rxd6 35.Qxd6 h4 36.Bh5 h3 37.Bxf7#`.

I can't work out why black apparently **has** to play `rdd6` at any point. If I were in his position, down by that amount of material, I would happily bounce my rook between d7 and d8 until the Queen takes the rook (and gets taken by the King), goes to d5 to at least take the rook out with it (as I eventually decided to do), or ends up drawing by threefold repetition.

Is this just a quirk of engines, that they will never consider playing for a draw even if it's their best realistic outcome, or am I missing something? (Also - in that position, is there a way of saving the Queen?)
