Nxf2 walks right into Qf3 threatening capture of the knight and mate in 1 via Qa8#
In this case, there was only one good move to make with the black knight (Nc5, all other moves lose). To surprise you a little, I wanted you to find the worst move and the answer is Ng3 because there are many ways to hold mate after the move Nxf2 and it is even worse for black if the black knight does not take the pawn on f2.
