Which move are you asking about? 

wbalance

It says Rc7 is a mistake and says Nxh3 is best.

Strangemover

There is a little tactic there which means you win 2 pieces for the rook if you go Nxh3 and white replies with Rxg8, white is not able to capture exf4.

Beautiful! Thanks for clearing that up.
