But black can play 3... Nc3! Then if 4.Nd6 black has a forced draw and 4.Rd8 is unclear. I will stick with Bxe5, which is not only better but simpler. >133 - Rxe4 is best for this position.

It's interesting to note how the combined computers of the world can be outdone by an over-the-board tactical move. >148 - FD - Book: 1. .. Rfc8 2.fxe5 Nf4 3. Now the book gives two losing >defences, > Bd3? and exd6? but Bf3 looks like it holds on. Yes, and the small plus scores I saw yesterday have gone back to 0. I change my opinion here from "probably right" to "drop it". Amir
