The Stockfish options win a rook and bishop for the cost of a pawn.

spoiler

Rg8 does the same but also wins the queen for that rook.

Legit games are not that common here but because i believe stockfish is wrong i feel like it still belongs.

    After letting the engine sit on the position for long enough, it eventually comes up with an even stronger line: Rdf1. Not going into the forcing line with checks turns out to be better, because black can’t deal with the pressure anyway, so white has time to add another attacker before moving ahead. Even with this “extra” move for black before the forcing moves come in, …Ke7 immediately is too late, mate is inevitable.

    Prime example of an engine move, I don’t think many people would come up with it, especially since the position is already crushing.
