I found this move in a game I played yesterday. I'm still improving my chess, so I'm glad that I found this move in a 10 minutes game, even though I realized afterwards that I could have played this the previous move already.

Nxf6+ wins the black Queen.

Or Nb6+

That wins material too, but why take the Rook by playing Nb6+ when you can win the Queen by Nf6+ ?

Because Nb6+ also wins the Queen.
