Here is a winning line after 14...f5

15.Bh6 f4 16.Ng5 Nb6 17.Bxg7 Kxg7 18.Rh7+ Kg8 19.Ke2


I did not see a clear winning line after 14...f6 but I guess that I did not
analyze deep enough and unfortunately moshe did not save all the analysis that
he did but he is convinced that 14...f6 is losing.

I see that I do not like black's position after 14...f6 because black has
problems to develop the pieces and white has interesting options after 15.Bh6
Qe7 16.Bxg7 Kxg7

I can see here that programs may like white if I continue against them but the
score is only a small positive score.

I am not surprised.
It is typical for all programs to like white after Bb7 and not after f6 because
they are materialistic.

After Bb7 there is a simple way for white to return the material and they think
that white has positional advantage.
