With regard to this move, Mr O'Hanlon says he played it against Kostic and won but he played Bxc3 first. Teichmann was present at the time, and remarked that Bxc3 was not a necessary preliminary. Hence the line of play above.
This permits a forced mate in four moves. Be6 looks best , but even so White has the better game.
