I don't like 2...Bc8 in this line, it allows the b-pawn to advance too easy. Computers surely have problems with the main defence idea in this position, i.e. after 1...d4+ 2.Kxd4 Bd7 3.Kc5 g5 4.Nd5 Kh6, 5.b5 would be a mistake. Some programs like this move, but: 5...Bxb5!, and white must keep, and promote, his last pawn to win. By now, I think that black's chances to draw are much better than I thought first. Black may even create counterchances with ...g5 and ...f5 etc. Regards, M.Scheidl
