I’m assuming it’s expecting Qxb5, Nxc7+ with a royal fork. But what’s stopping c6 or Nc6 instead, keeping the black Queen in a position to protect c7?

    1. You’re basically trading a knight and a bishop for a rook in this case, plus black gets an active center. Dunno if that is a very good trade.

    I cannot find a reason why Bb6 would be brilliant. Just grabbing the center with d4 or castling seems like the better option.
