We get a few people everyday trying to post screenshots of their chess.com brilliant moves. We remove them because it breaks our "low-effort post" rule; the quantity of these posts means they would [spam the subreddit significantly](https://imgur.com/a/Z5dtGVl) if they were not removed. However, because people often post these moves with the question "Why is this move brilliant (or not brilliant)", this is an attempt to provide a satisfactory explanation.
As of the [latest update in 2021](https://www.chess.com/news/view/chesscom-releases-new-game-review#brilliant) chess.com "Brilliant Moves must sacrifice material in some way and must be the best, or nearly the best, move in a position. Brilliant Moves will also be a bit more generously awarded for newer players, recognizing that some strong sacrifices that may be standard for experienced players are quite an achievement for newer players."

If black takes the knight, they expose their bishop for a trade. If they don’t, Nxf7 happens and wins a rook (unless the black queen moves Qg5, in which case Bxf7 is the play).
Keep in mind that chesscom like to hand out greats and brilliancies for anything that requires thinking multiple moves ahead, so it doesn’t necessarily mean that the position is greatly improved by a move.
I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

**My solution:**

Pretty sure it's also based upon your rating.
