Subject: Position

Author: James Robertson

In a recent Winboard tournament Insomniac reached this position against Zarkov:

[D]2rqkn1r/p3bppp/2p1b3/1p4N1/3PN3/8/PP2QPPP/R1B2RK1 w k -

Insomniac played 1. Re1 sacrificing the d4 pawn. It won after
1. ... Qxd4 2. Be3 Qe5 3. f4 Qb8 4. f5 Bxg5 etc.

Is Re1 really the best move? Is there a better defense for black? What do other
programs think?

Analysis appreciated.
