Computers are bad in these kind of positions, as they will not consider to give back a material plus to get rid of the pressure. I think there will be no program that finds 7 ... d5!, even not after weeks of calculating! >BTW: In my experience computers are not good in exploiting this sort of attack >chances.

There is no compensation, the bishop on b3 is going to be exchanged and Black can simply develop his pieces. F.e. Qd7 and 0-0-0, or N8e7 and Nf5 or Nd5.
