The White knight is lost regardless. Kg1 allows Rxf3, then Rxh3 and Black closes in on White K; white will eventually lose its Q in the process of losing the game. Kg2 allows White to trade its Q for R&B, still down a knight, but relieving pressure from Black's attacking threat. White can extend the game fighting RR v QR.
Can I really win a queen with this move?

Ah, I see. Thanks, CenterMass51075.
Another example when the "Game review" explanation is total nonsense. Again.
Would it be too hard to program that script to say "win a queen or win a piece?" I somehow doubt that it is impossible.
No
black wins big.

What if my opponent go Kg1 instead? Well, there is Rxf3. But isn’t that a bit more pleasant than losing a queen?
idk much, but maybe you use the bishop to fork?

Nah, that can only happens if my opponent play either the best move Kg2 or the far worse Kh1. Game review probably assumed my opponent would play the best move.
