Your question is answered in the teacher's comment on that very puzzle:
Note that 2.Bxf6 can be met by 2...Qf4+ (2...Nxd3+ is also good) 3.Kb1 gxf6 (more interesting than ...Qxf6) when the e5-square is covered and Black's Queen is very well-placed.
Chess Mentor lesson 868

I guess I would have done that in a regular game. I see I am not ready to jump in to a new setup in the time frame given. Recently I have not been playing blitz at all.
Thank you for pointing out the teacher's closing comments.

An ancient chess sage once told me:
"If you wish not to look like a patzer, don't ask a question about something that has already been answered... especially in Chess Mentor!"
You have not only broken this rule, you have done the thing explicitly stated *NOT* to do. Shame.
OK OK enough already. I'll keep my mistakes to the game board

You're all just attempting to look smarter. Is that good? The fact that you play chess isn't enough to do the trick?
The position occurs in the game Kasparov-Anand Reggio Emelia
The teacher gives the correct move as . .N d7d5.
But White's bishop can take the knighgt at f6 and it looks as if Black retakes with
the g pawn leaving the gap and doubling pawn and doesn't it look as if
White's Queen Bishop and Knight can storm the king?
Any comments on this? What don't I see?
