no, not worked up.
just curious.
I was originally of the inclination that anything in Chess Life is infallible.
I thought I'd ask to see if they really had missed a line, that seems obvious, at that.

no!
white is winning no matter what.
the problem is that CL failed to offer discussion about Black's best line. that qualifies as a mistake.
First you state: "CL was wrong!"

And then: "Am I saying that they were wrong? no!"

I'm confused.

Anyway, CL showed how white mates if Black makes the most obvious move, taking the bishop, and says that with any other move, the double attack remains (after Rxa3 in your line). No mistake there.
