Need advice on why the computer player made a move.

Hi everyone,

First time posting here. I am trying to improve my chess (as we all are).

I am stratching my head why the computer player (Nelson) didn't take the white bishop with the pawn (g6). Instead he did Qf7 (the screenshot below show the position - just in case my notation is wrong).

I've included the full game to that point below the screenshot.

So why did the queen block the bishop. I assume it was to prevent a possible check or checkmate I didnt see?

Confusing move

Boys don’t play like humans, they play the most random moves every now and then, since Nelson is a lower rated bot, he’ll make some blunders here and there.

Bots* not boys.
