What is the point of 1...Bb4+ anyways?
1.Nd7? Bb4+? 2.Kf1 Nxd7 3.Bxe6+ Kh8 4.Bxd7 Rad8 5.Ba4
White is winning here.
Compare that to this:
1.Nd7? Nxd7! 2.Qxe6+ Kh8 3.Qxf6 Nxf6.
Clearly Black is better in this line.
So 1...Bb4+ is a bad move.

In an actual game, I would probably find myself playing Bd2 instead of Ng4, though looking at them...I suppose that they're both fine.
Then I compared it with fritz to see what it like for white.
