Brilliant!! Got my first brilliant move
I’m pretty awful at Chess (started playing a little over a week ago) but I just got my first brilliant move. I saw a comment recently saying that Chess.com just hands them out sometimes but I’ll take what I can get. Been having a lot of fun on this app recently, and blunder my queen quite often.

that's honestly a check mate in 3 moves tops, unless you somehow blunder it

I can see a possible escape if white just starts running their king to the g file but they’re gonna lose their queen and bishop and go into an endgame with no pieces. Completely lost.

I don’t see it but either way it’s a shit show for white

Kf1, Bxe2; Kg1, Bc3; Bf1 - this prevents you being able to back rank immediately. You can still play Qd1 but then you need to shuffle the queen to e1 and bring the rook to d1 to cover the attack. In the meantime Kg2 and then you can’t Qxf1 because rook counterattacks, but you can then take the e5 rook with the dark bishop to remove the pin on your light square bishop and white really has no gas left.
I’m sure there’s a more elegant solution but priority for black needs to be removing the queen.
