Capture the Queen

That Black Knight is preventing the White b pawn from advancing to defend the hanging c pawn because the b pawn is defending the c3 square. In general, that Black Knight is preventing White from developing its Queenside pieces.

This position is a line from the Budapest Gambit, Fajarowicz variation. It's important that Black doesn't move its Queen to f6, otherwise the Black Queen will be attacked when 3. Nxe4 and Black will have to capture back with 3....Bxe4. Then White can block the X-Ray threat on the White Queen with 4. Nd4.

One time I fell for a brilliant move... I took a corner rook with a queen and they trapped my queen. Something like this position.

I would trade pawns, then take the rook. Next move they would trap my queen. (Mind you I had more pieces than shown)

Looks like Black's white-square Bishop would trap the White Queen forcing an exchange of pieces. After that, Black could create a couple of passed pawns on the Queenside by capturing White's b-pawn.

This puzzle is 8 moves. White is behind in material and plays to capture back material. Eventually, Black makes an inaccurate move. Can you use that to your advantage to capture the Black Queen without trading Queens?

The Black Queen is able to threaten either the White King, f-pawn or defend the f8 square. So, trade Queens at the earliest opportunity and promote the f-pawn to a Queen to complete the puzzle.
