did you get the bishop from a pawn?
Game review incorrectly identified a bishop as a pawn
Sort:
no, he's talking about the queen taking on B7, anyway, If the knight where to take you'd just take back with your rook.

No, it wasn't incorrect. It stated that Nxf7 wins a pawn. It doesn't win the bishop because the king would just take back. But after Nxf7, Kxf7, Qxb7, White has indeed won a pawn.

Clock the Show Moves button and it will show you how it wins a pawn. You trade knight for bishop then win the pawn with queen takes pawn on b7.

Yes, but that still does not give a explanation for why it called the bishop a pawn
I don't think its wrong its just saying its the best way to get up a pawn (in material). Click "Show Moves" it shows you the moves to get up a pawn.
it isn't talking about the bishop, it is talking about B7.

Its not calling the bishop a pawn, its a certain moveset. It shows the moves on how to be up a pawn of material (1 point)
after that move queen can take the pawn on b7
I was reviewing a recent blitz game when Game Review said that the best move would take a pawn when in reality it took a bishop.
