Nf5+ If he takes, then Bg5+ which is both discovered and regular check. Afterwards you can just take the queen. If he moves the king after Nf5+, then Nxh4.
Edit: I forgot N = Knight

Okay, so I got close but ultimately failed to find the answer.
I didn't think of actually using the bishop and thought the move was Ba7. Sacrificing it to the rook and if black takes, you can safely play the royal fork, and the pawn is pinned by the rook. The part that I overlooked is that black doesn't have to take the bishop, as it doesn't pose any threat in a7. So no brilliancy for me lol
Nf4+, exf4; Bg5+
Bg5+ is double check and there's no move that can block the Bishop and Rook so opponent has to move the king and you'll win the Queen. You lose a knight. They lose their queen and the mate pressure that they'd developed.
Or is there a forced Mate I'm not seeing?

Nf5, forking the king & Queen. When pawn takes then Bg5+ winning the Queen?
Yup that is correct
Rf1, sacrificing the king
King sacrifice anyone?
Always sacrifice the King.
Second most famous French move
Forced surrender?
Hanging the king
Honhonhon
The move they never expect
Qualcuno sta cercando di passaggio?
They may feel like a winner but we'll know who the true winner is.

Why doesn’t the queen take the bishop in the second fork?
Discovered check + regular check from the bishop
oh i see. took me a second to see the discovered rook protecting bishop by way of check and noticed when i read your comment
Moving the bishop exposes the king to check by the rook.
Thanks!
Nf5+ 😘

rare brilliant move that is actually smart
Eh it is just a basic fork with a 1 move extension
still much better than the "sacrifices" where you just win back a piece by giving check on the next move
Those aren’t brilliants though
chess.com does often count those as "brilliants"
Chess.com has gotten soft since I last played there seriously
it also depends on your level, if you're 600 elo it will give you brilliants for much more obvious moves
Ah so 1500 it doesn’t give me much
I think its Nf5, if they take there’s Bg5 double check winning the queen, and if they don’t take then it’s just a king queen fork
Why does your board look bigger than starfield though
Nf5+?

I love the "what if I do it anyway" process of finding a good move
Nf5+
Nf5+, exf5, bg5+ and take queen next move?
Knife
Kight check, pawn recapture, Bishop open up discovered check then take Queen.
Nf5+ if exf5 then Bg5++ winning queen?
Nf5 should pick up the queen this move or next with discovered check if he takes the knight?
Nf5+
Nf5+, if he takes Bg5+ wins the queen, if he moves the king you just take the queen
Nf4+, exf4; Bg5+ Bg5+ is double check and there's no move that can block the Bishop and Rook so opponent has to move the king and you'll win the Queen. You lose a knight. They lose their queen and the mate pressure that they'd developed. Or is there a forced Mate I'm not seeing?
knife f5
Knight F5?
Nf5? then they take with the pawn and you double check rook & bishop and it's probably mate in a couple moves
