If the rook is at a7, the knight is not in danger of getting pinned and it can slide over to the d or e files depending on which is more advantageous after several pieces get swapped
The difference in evaluations between moves are actually insignificant. It's better to play a line which you are confident in than to play a computerish winning line which requires immense brain power.
I would play any other move like Be6.
I doubt I would play a7 either. I was just trying to speculate why this move was considered so highly.
It is black's turn.The computer think Ra7 is best.Can you tell me why?
