I'm not ENTIRELY sure that 6...Qb6 deserves a '?'. In the CM8000 database, that
move is played 28 times in 135 games. Admittedly, though, the result is
+14 =9 -5 for White, but GMs have lost as White in some of these games....

I believe the problem really lies with 7...Qxb2? It IS played, in three of the
21 games, but all three games are wins for White. The correct move appears to be
7...Nc6.
