Hey I hope you are good!

Let me help you to understand this-

It's called double check.

When 2 piece at once check your king it called double check.

In this position- your king getting check by the rook but also by the bishop on a6 (2 piece checking your king at once.

Now if you capture the rook with your rook black can capture your king by Bf1 but capturing king is not allowed xD so it's looks like a checkmate.

Let me know if you understand this I will do my best to explain you!

Double checks, in your game from the bishop and rook, are often game ending due to how advantageous they can be for those doing it. Here, you can’t defend against the attack of the rook and bishop on your king simultaneously, and certainly not by capturing the rook with your rook, leaving your king in check from the bishop still which is illegal to do so.
