Jeroen,

You are the expert here. But I once played a correspondence game (with computer
assistance allowed) and with extremely long analysis black did not manage to
"refute" the knight sac, playing this line. The game ended in a draw (white had
to fight for the draw, in the end).

BTW: In my experience computers are not good in exploiting this sort of attack
chances. The King is maybe the exception. I suggest you don't forget to use it
here for analysis. Comparing King/Genius/Fritz/MChess (all I had then) The King
was the only one suggesting promising continuations. Unfortunately I don't have
it anymore.

It looks like a good line for black, but after Bb3 0-0 I don't think black has
necessarily much advantage. It has given another pawn to neutralize part of the
problems. Which is probably not a bad idea.


Regards,
Bas.
