Yes why did the queen stand still to be taken?

Maybe because if you don't take the horse...it will fork the king and the rook. Well losing rook is better than loosing queen but king also has to move, so you lose castling and maybe computer thinks that rook+no castling is worse then losing queen?

This is really a defective tactic because after Nb5 It forces Kd7 because everything else mates except for cxb5 which loses the rook or maybe mates if white plays it right so Kd7 Qxe5 Qe8 Qxe8 and they are even
the move they suggest loses a pawn

excuse me

after cxb5 Qxa8 bxc4 Qb8+ and wins the night you are down a pawn instead of even okay that loses 2 pawns

An alternative where Black threatens Bb2 trapping White's Queen, as well as taking the bishop and rook.

2.Nb5+ cxb5
3.Qxa8 Nxc2+
4.Kf1 Nxa1
5.Bxb5 Qc7
