thats what i thought when i first looked at it, but in retrospect its seems perfectly obvious, the deflection of the queen, the position of the two rooks.
But why would you play such a move? The exchange is bishop and knight for rook and two pawns. Genrally speaking this is considered equal. Looking at this OTB why would one choose this line over another? What are the other factors that one should consider in the position?
Bxa5 - I'm not even sure that is the best move. Sure it may be cute and worthy of analysis - but in general I like the two pieces instead of the Rook and two pawns...psychologically speaking of course :>😉

Correct! Psychology does play a part in my playing such a move. Perhaps psychology also played a part in this woman playing that move as well. The position is put up for one to find the move. In such a situation, I look for a tactical shot and I only see one and so I play it. Simple as that.
