At this moment Black has already sacrificed a pawn and now sacrifices the other pawn and the rook on h8. Here White have only one move to not to lose on spot: 7. Bxd5. Taking the rook isn't the best option as after 7... Qxe4 8. Kf1 dxc4 black has an awesome position because of the trapped knight on h8 and amazing piece activity. The main ideas for Black in this gambit is to open the e file by capturing the e4 pawn (if Black manages to do it, especially if White didn't castle, no matter of material, Black is victorious) and try to develop as fast as possible and open as much files as possible while attacking opponent's pieces.
