You said 5...Qf6 with out white to move. Which makes your post with less flair and incorrect.

I'm in the 4 .. Bc5 camp, with the follow up 5 .. Qf6. It works out pretty well for me at my club and in tournaments U1800.

5...Qf6 would drop a piece in some variations.

Black can play 5...Qf6 

against 5.Nxc6

against 5.Be3

However, Black can not play 5...Qf6 against 5.Nb3.

Which is another popular variation used by white at move 5.

Yes I would agree that  5. Nb3 should not be met by Qf6. Although I've had this played against me 10's of times in slow OTB games. In those cases I've only had 5. Nxc6, Be3 and once c3 played against me. To which I respond Qf6.

If white would ever have played 5. Nb3 I would not have had a prepared responce. I'm guessing I would respond 5 .. Bb6. Maybe I should update my repertoire, thank you.

5Nb3 is nowdays arguably the best response to Bc5, at least leading to fresher positions. Carlsen has used it in one or two games.

sorry it wasnt intendid to be a puzz just click find the solution

and i dont like 5nb3 whats the point of moving the knight from a central sqare

TwoMove

After 5...Bc5 6Nb3 Bb6 the idea is to play Qe2, followed by be3 and castle queenside. I am actually not sure what the drawback to 5...Qf6 is, if there is one.

what is the idea idea of nb3 not the plan of the opening

TwoMove

I guess to take the bishop, if black does nothing about itUndecided
