Yeah but's the only move that doesn't lose the bishop. It definitely belongs here.
The thing that gets me is that, when they introduced this however long ago, you'd get positions where it's mate in one, and the player four different moves that are all checkmate. One of them would get a !!. You'd think, is this one better because it takes less effort to move the mouse?
Now they have "upgraded" the software, but still... is it any better?
The OP on Reddit asked "Why is this a brilliant move". The black bishop took a pawn on a3.
If you run the position through a site that evaluates all possible moves, it will show you that black has 21 legal moves available, and Bxa3 ranked 19th.
Some commenters gave explanations for why the move was so good.
The computer is right about one thing: the move is indeed very difficult to find....
