Good puzzle. I looked at it a long time, and couldn't see how white could really threaten black. In this exchange, white loses a pawn, so I've got to wonder... why not e5?
4...e5
5. Qa6+ Kc7
6. Bg3 Qxc2
...and so forth. Am I missing something? The e5 square is covered by both the black knight and the black queen, so white can't just capture that pawn.
