what the heck is white doing bruh
I tried run AI explanation (bluner.zone) for 17...Bxb2 ??:
Prioritize forcing activity over a bishop excursion: Bg5+ makes Black's pieces work together immediately.
Bxa2 gives White time for pawn expansion and active central play instead of making White respond immediately to a check.
Bg5+ activates the bishop with check and clears the queen's route to a5, targeting the bishop on c5. Black wins a bishop in the supplied continuation.
The continuation illustrates the payoff, but White's king reply is not forced.
Motifs: initiative, attack with tempo
