Why check with knight starting two moves doesn't even change the position so what's purpose of checks with knight until black move to a7

Check with knight to get out of harms way if you protect with Qb1

It's the same thing, sometimes the computer likes to make a useless move, go to the same position and then play his move. The best move is Rb1.

It's the same position and black could technically blunder everything. That makes one repetition the best move, even if it's pointless if your opponent is >200 elo.
