Hi, on move 9 I decided to move the bishop to pin the knight so we wouldn't both lose a pawn, only they would, but then the game review said this was a Mistake? Am I missing something?
How Is This a Mistake?

It's a mistake since you had a better move. Taking the pawn was best. Black can't take your pawn as that would be a blunder due to Nxf7+ winning a rook.
