If white takes the queen, Ne3 is checkmate.

Oh I see but what if white play rook e2 or three to defend?

Why don't you check what the engine has to say about that variation? You have the engine analysis running, it is utterly bizarre to make a screenshot and ask in the forums.

Oooooooh come on that’s sooo nasty of a move!! If pawn takes queen, red can simply move away the knight and it’s checkmate. If not, there’s Rxg3!!, a clearance sacrifice because Rh1 gives white the f3 square after Kg2. And Rxg3 is unavoidable because the king can’t move, protecting the pawn is useless because it works anyway and the rook on f1 can’t be moved away
