As already stated, I am unsure that it does complicate matters as in the Black line (starting 1... fxe6) is fairly obvious. The forced or "natural" (of course, I speak about human) moves by Black win for Black, with only a mate or two to sidestep. Please could you _specifically_ say what alternative does Black (human) have to 1... fxe6? Kind regards fca PS: I am aware there may be a problem in that the better player (lower GM) may see threats not visible to the weaker player, and so avoids the line, through missing a defence. So the weaker player ends up making the actually better move. But *here* (i.e. in this position) I feel that this is not the case. The line to press the attack is hard for White (and while Black has also to predict White's moves...) and the response is easy for Black (relatively).
