Black bishop takes rook before it can take pawn or king though

Firstly, the king can't make it there from where it currently is, and secondly, if the white rook is on F7, then F6 is still in danger.

The main place that people play chess these days is on chess.com, and if you review your game afterwards, it will tell you which of your moves were good, bad, or in this case: brilliant ("brilly").
