I’m assuming it’s expecting Qxb5, Nxc7+ with a royal fork. But what’s stopping c6 or Nc6 instead, keeping the black Queen in a position to protect c7?

I’m usually bad at chess, please point out if I’m wrong:
c6 -> Ba4: bishop is safe, pin stands
queen can’t take because:
c6 -> Ba4 -> Qxa4: Rook and pawn for a Bishop
Nc6: Knight is pinned
Nc6 -> c4 -> a6 -> Ba4 and then push pawns? That’s something I’d have done.
But realistically, I think pin, potential for blunder and applying pressure could be enough for a brilliant move, depending on rating.
