Puzzle 68536

Qxe8 Rxe8 Bxe8 and you down a queen for 2 rooks, right?
What do you mean Qxe8? It's not checkers where you can jump over my bishop that I just placed on c6.
Have you had your eyes checked recently?
So? No serious replies yet? Also, I like this outcome better than the engine's version, as I keep my rooks on the back rank, not straggling in the centre board minefield. I know the engine sees farther than I, but what the hell is it seeing that I don't?
Reb8 guarantees that you win the bishop. However, if you do Bc6 then white puts you in check with Qb3+ and exchanges bishop on the next move, so you lose the advantage you had.
Ah the check, thank you! Also, he can alternatively check with the bishop on b3 and then just move the queen away. I must have been sleeping!
