Dec-16-08  Willem Wallekers: What did white have in mind in case of 8 ... Qxb2?
Aug-18-14  Mating Net: While not a huge blunder, 8.Qd5?! gives Black easy counter play and the better game. 8.Nd2 and White is very much in business and Black still has not equalized.

The best line for White after 8...Qxb2 seems to be 9.Bc4 Nh6.

White gets his check on c7 and the a8 Rook, but Black bags the a1 Rook and appears to be much better off than in the 8.Nd2 line.
