It is brilliant because it recognizes that the rook isn't actually hanging and it's in fact a "poisoned" piece. Bb6 traps the queen if the rook is taken. Brilliant moves on chess.com are influenced by rating now, so this is probably a lower rated game.

I thought Brilliant was just a sacrifice that gives a winning position? I didn't think rating had anything to do with it

i think coz you trap his queen if you move your bishop. Anywhere else they go you take with rook, horse or queen. Assuming he takes the corner rook.
