Clumsy main variant

One of those computer-generated puzzles -- most humans would play 3. .. Qxd6 trying to save the queen. But well, bloody engines rate Bxd6 marginally better than Qxd6:
3...Qxd6 4.Qxf7+ Kd8 5.Bg5+ Be7 6.Rd1 Qxd1+ 7.Kxd1 etc.

Queen Still Lost

If 3...Qxb6 then 4. Qxf7+ Kd8 5. Bb5+. However Black blocks, he faces 6. Rd1 and the queen is still lost.
