Both my opponent and I missed the nuances of this position in a #blitz game. White to play, what should your move be? #chess

Queen c8 checkmate is soo close, so it was too tempting for me to go fxg4

However!! That runs into Qa1+ setting up a fork from the knight on e4. After all of it white is +1 instead of a winning +5

In the game Nxe4 was played without the in-between check, blundering mate in 1 for me
