tc=50841

I wouldn't mind an expert analysis for

tactics #50841.
If I were white, I would probably respond to 1..Bg4 with 2 Qd3.
The correct move is 2 0-0-0. I can see that white would probably suffer positionally in the next few moves after 2 Qd3, but I think the queen would be preserved.

I'm obviously missing something fairly obvious here, so someone please put me out of my misery!

4. Kd2 Re2+
5. Qxe2 Bxe2
6. Kxe2 Qxg2+

or
2. Qd3 Nxe4
3. Nxe4 Rxe4+
4. Kd2 Rxf4
5. g3 Bf5
6. Qe2 Re4

Qf1

I'm with breakerof the wind..

By my reckoning the exchange the computer has concocted overlooks an alternative for white.

Qf3 Bg4
Qf1 Nxe4

White's position does deteriorate but he doesn't lose his queen and black remains down in material.
