Putting [D] in front of the FEN should be enough:

[D]r2q1rk1/ppp2ppp/3bb3/2nNBB2/8/8/PPP2PPP/R2QR1K1 b - - 4 13

I don't understand this at all.  Why is Bxe5 so bad?  My little engine prefers
Re8, but Bxe5 looks
just as good to me.  And after Bxe5 Rxe5, why does black have to play Qd6?  Re8
and Nd7 look
perfectly playable.  Am I missing something?
