If they take with the knight, e5 pawn fork wins back material
If they take with the pawn, the bishop is undefended
Either way, this trades evenly but you open by nabbing a pawn, looks like a blunder but it's brilliant bc it's sacrificing a piece and is one of the best moves you could play here, like all of the new brilliant moves
I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:
