why isn't Kt takes f6+ slightly better? 46008

if the Kt takes f6, white gets a pawn and Q for a kt and bishop--with the preferred solution, it's only Q for Kt and bishop. Is there something else--a stronger position maybe--or was this not adequately considered? --Ed B.

1. ... Qg4
2. Nxf6+ Nxf6

And the queen is no longer free.
