Qc2+ forks the rook on a4 and the king, so black must either move the king to the back rank where white's rook can attack it or otherwise offer the Queen ...Qb6 (which is what the computer plays). Could also play g6 but either way, by playing Qc2+ and forking the rook in check you will play Qxa4 and take the enemy rook on the next move and black is pretty much done
