Here the correct response to Qe4 is simply g6.

Qxc7 is the crucial mistake but here the move for black is d7-d5 and
white looks busted.

0-0 may not be the best move but I can't see much here for white how
to exploit 0-0.

I think Qxc7 is the dud. Time to play d7-d5 here. Rebel 8
plays d7-d5 in just over 2 minutes on a K6-200. What do
other programs play here?
