Unlock Your Genius - January 2009 (Problems)

? 1... Bc6 2. Nd4 Nb3 3. Nxb3 axb3 4. Bxe4 (4. Qxb3 Nd2 -+) fxe4 5. Qxb3
? Qf7, and it looks like Black's in control now. He can play b6 then lift
? the rook to a5 and over to c5 or f5 with a lot of pressure.

That looks a good idea. If instead white captures 3. Nxc6, after 3...bxc6 4. Rc2, the knight on b3 would be difficult for white to kick away. Presumably, black would then aim to double rooks on the b file.
