Not at all. You may be able to see a positional advantage or capture of a minor piece in your move, and not see that they can respond by capturing your queen. The most apparently valuable moves after your own move are very often close to the worst after theirs, because they are often made with the most powerful pieces and expose them to risk.
I learned that lesson quite well when writing my own poor attempt at a chess playing program years ago. Odd ply searches are generally worse than even ones for this reason.
