This is most probably a bullet game, there is a term LeFong I think from the Chessbrahs where people premove in the opening and instead of taking the bishop, they will premove nf3 or something and Black wins a piece. It is a dirty bullet trick and has nothing to do whatsoever with real chess. It works quite often. If 3.bxh3 there is no difference.
You'd be surprised how many times it has happened.
Yes, this was by the Chess Brah!
Thank you very much, Kmatta, this was really bothering me, hahaha.

I was watching a video that featured 1. g3, and after a few moves the GM playing with whites made a comment that left me intrigued.
After this position, he played 3.Nxh3 and the other player resigned. The GM playing with whites said something along the lines of "I am a GM, I know all the tricks", and it was obvious that the move 2...Bh3 was a trick of some kind, I am assuming if captured with the white's bishop.
Could someone please explain me why this is a trap? I mean, what happens if whites take the bishop with the bishop. Thank you very much!
