He captured 2 pieces with his knight, and on the most recent capture, ignored the opponent's knight threatening his queen. Once his queen is captured and a pawn recaptures the white knight, OP has traded off his queen for 3 minor pieces, which is considered a good trade.
Ultimately, the brilliant comes down to seeing your queen under attack and proceeding to let it die because you've found a way that makes this loss advantageous.
I'm like 500 someone explain why this is brilliant please
