Does anyone know if there has been a grand fork with K-Q-R-R in a master game?

Got another Grand Fork, albeit a less impressive one in this live game yesterday...

The first game is online and the second is live. Hence the rating difference.

I think I've seen that fork called a family fork.  It's cool to see that in a game.  Good job out-playing your opponent.

A Family Fork includes the King, Queen, and any additional pieces (can be rooks).
Specifically hitting only the King, Queen, and Rook(s) is known as a Grand Fork.
Hitting only the King and Queen is a Royal Fork.

I've pulled that off once but i only pinned the king, queen, and 1 rook

I just did a 4-way fork myself. Crazy! Statistically, does anyone know what the odds are of doing this? 🤔
