I am a chess.com newbie. I am playing the computer, and I don't understand how the final move made by the computer (bxa3) is legal. Can anyone explain to me? thanks!

Honest questions are not embarrassing. Some may try to jab you about it no doubt, but shrug it off. It’s all part of learning, and that is a good thing.
