Hi, can someone help me understand why this move I played here is not the best move - taking the rook?

Thanks!

If your opponent instead of resigning would take your bishop with his bishop from a2, you would be winning 2 pints of material (win rook 5 lost bishop 3). If you would take his bishop with your rook from a1, you would win 3 points.

Oh yeah, thanks!
