MCO-14 states that the position is unclear after 11...Bb7.

Chessmaster 8000, as White, will play up to (and including) 7.Qf3 -- after that,
it's out of book. As Black, CM8000 will always play 3...Nc6, so it will never
come close to this  position....

CM8000's analysis of the final position is about 1.5 in White's favor:
