The first line was 1. cxb5...Bb7 2. Rdd1...c4 3. Ba4!...Rd8 4. b6+!...Bc6 5. Re7+...Rxe7 6. dxe7+...Kxe7 7. Rxd8...Kxd8 8. bxa7! ( better than Bxc6 )..Ba8 9. Bc2! and Bxg6! can't be stopped. The second line started with Bxg6!!? as in the Main Line you give. It appears 1. cxb5 is actually the best move! A shame as the combination starting with Bxg6 was very pretty but not the best. I believe all top programms will choose 1. cxb5 over Bxg6. Terry
