ITT: Wrong
Unless I've missed something big you are correct; it wins the pawn which is nice, but it's hardly earth shattering as long as black doesn't have a brain fart and take the bishop. According to a quick look with Stockfish:
You can try yourself; go to lichess and click the little live-analysis toggle on the left side up above the move list. Stockfish isn't perfect but it's better than any of us here.
Yeah, Stockfish doesn't consider it a brilliant move at all. Evaluation swings from +2.6 to +1.6.
Instead of Bb5, SF recommends grabbing the center with d4 or castling.
Interesting. So was the screenshot that showed up in my feed faked, then?
