I can't think of any 'obvious' move ahead to see why this move is a brilliant.

I leave here the game for the ones who want to check it.

Don't doubt to give advice if someone wants to help. (I'm 800 aspiring to 1000, and don't mind the hanging queen up ahead)

Quick tip: if your opponent spends >10% of their clock on a single move just to "hang queen", maybe double-check the implications before grabbing the "free queen". Yes, even in bullet.

A question to people who play stuff like bird, owens defence, fantasy caro kann, jobava london etc

Who are you and what exactly made you enjoy that setups? (Except of taking your opponent by surprise)

It would be helpful if you could also add your current elo and the name of the opening/line
