Thanks! Did you get it on your first try? Was it tough?
To be honest, I didn't try to solve it but I'm pretty sure it would've taken me a while to realize that black was only threatening a perpetual. It looked like they could have more.
It's a brilliant move indeed but I'd never trust an engines verdict on brilliance. Sometimes they get lucky.

Thanks, yeah excellent point. I don't understand what you mean by "lucky" in this context though.

Seems like a blunder
On the contrary, it's the only winning move. It leaves White with a clear advantage. If you follow the analysis, you'll see how the other seemingly obvious moves fail.
Do you understand that the queen sequence doesn't end in a tie? You can win as white once the King is one the 8th rank, no?

By the time White moves his King to the 8th Rank in this line, he should be certain the draw is inevitable. At that point, it reduces to a tactic every new player should know by heart. It's called "perpetual check."

Using diagonal moves, the king can slide back towards the Rook, forcing the rook to run away.

If you take the trouble to look for black's moves, as you would do in a proper match, you see that black's perpetual check can only be stopped by a knight.
Therefore it wasn't brilliant but it is proof that a brilliant move is just an obvious one that is beyond the horizon of the analysis tool.
It seems I was unable to impress you with this, my third trickiest puzzle. Perhaps you will be impressed by my second trickiest. I put a lot of effort into constructing an analysis of this one:

The white King will be trapped in the top-right quadrant of the board, and all of the squares the Rook gives check on (e4, f4, g4, and h4) are protected by either its King or its Bishop.
