Only one move doesn't lose the game for white:

Rxa8 Bxe2 2. Nd7 Qxc2 3. Nxf8+

White has to give up his queen to force a perpetual check.

I’m not very good at Chess, but my guess; white is in check, so the knight has to move down to block?

white is not in check

Maybe I have the symbol for king and queen mixed up. Isn’t the crown with all the extra spikes the king?
