It's probably just a brain thing misinterpreting patterns. Generally in positions in which people allow you to take that pawn, the bishop's defending the knight, so the rook moves with tempo on the queen, maybe the queen gets trapped, and so on. But what really happened is the opponent was acting on principle of not ever giving Eric his gambit. If you can take a Rook with check against Eric, look for some other move that doesn't take free material!
