I had this position twice and everyone did Pxh5 but if Pxe5 you can still fork rook and check by Qxe5+

because he can take your knight

It's not check, there's a pawn on e7

Hold on it isn't fork but rook is still trapped

Nope black can just put the knight on f6. This is a legitimate blunder

this is just a 500 elo pov your knight and queen are in danger if he takes your knight then you will have to move your queen because the queen is in danger but if he takes your knight then there wont really be anything for you to do and you still will have to move your queen this is an unneeded loss of material

#

well if he takes your queen then Bf7 is check mate as the king wouldnt move anywhere

#

but this is still a blunder because the opponents next move might be to take your knight
it can only be considered a great good or brilliant if the loss of material will lead you to an advantage no matter what material you sac
