 it is white to play, if you can explain what black is trying to do and you can find the correct idea here for white, then you are either a Grandmaster, or about to become one

This is not a binary puzzle of the type right or wrong. Even engines of >3000 ELO have different views and moves. So, obviously what a GM would play depends on his rating and style as well. Also, with the rook on g8, it's likely an artificial position where "the right move" does not tell us a lot about how to handle this "position type".

Btw, when you post a puzzle for a game-like position, always enter the "castling rights". It is likely that white can castle both 0-0 and 0-0-0 and such details may significantly affect the evaluation!

you dont understand this position, that is why you are using engine to give you a move, and of course the engines will give multiple moves with equal evaluation, that is not how you were suposed to check this position, assume it was your real game and you are playing a human and not a 3000 machine, only 1 move would cause trouble for a human player, and that is why i said you are either a grandmaster or a very strong player, and by the way you saying it depends with the grandmaster style is pure nonsense, grandmasters dont play like that they play according to the position

im thinking of d5 if black takes then its a fork of both rooks if he pushes to e4 then we will push the pawn to d6 reneing the threat of qd4 fork and qg5 qe7 mate is also a threat if black ignores with a moove like bb7 then we will again push to d6 qg5 qe7 mate ideas but im not sure in this one
