This is a line of the Albin called the Lasker Trap. If Rxd1, then Bg4+ skewers and wins the queen.

I'm hoping someone can answer a question. in this app's lesson on the albin countergambit opening, it walks black through an opening where its pawn takes the white knight on G1 and turns into a black knight to create a check on the white king. it then assumes the white king would move out of check, but I can't see why white would not simply take the new black knight with its rook, rxg1. Is there anyone who can see this lesson and can tell me what I'm missing?
