It's just a sacrifice.

You are offering a sacrifice.

That's all a brilliant move is- a decent sacrifice.

If he takes your knight, you win his queen with Bf7+

If he takes your queen, you check him first with your knight on f6 and then you take back his queen with check,

But you knew that already, right?

What if Black plays Ng6 here? It prevents Queen check on h5 and protects f6 pawn with the Queen. Black can defend but White still has the edge.
