Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I'm a chess coach based in California: www.ChessByLauren.com.  

White to move. What's the best move? This puzzle was taken from a recent game that I played.

All the king's escape squares are covered, so white just needs to check him, and there's only one move that does that.
