I’m assuming it’s expecting Qxb5, Nxc7+ with a royal fork. But what’s stopping c6 or Nc6 instead, keeping the black Queen in a position to protect c7?

    probably because it’s a sacrifice and if they take the bait it’s a triple fork. even if they don’t take the bait it leaves you in a better position. don’t know about the brilliant algorithm of chess.com but it’s probably a move above the player’s level.
