Stated plan

Play Nxe6+, exploiting the discovered check to win the d8 rook next move.

Resolves to g5e6 · −1789cp

Reasoning

The pawn on e6 masks a discovered check from the rook on e1 against the black king on e8. Playing Nxe6+ opens this discovered check while the knight also attacks the rook on d8. Black must move the king off the e-file (no piece can block on e7), after which Nxd8 wins the rook outright, winning material decisively.
