Well, I've given up on 2...Kc6 as a draw as I can't find any win. That main
'winning' line was the best attempt. (I guess my ignorance there only showed
truly how lopsided my play is).
So yes, this 2...f5 line will be the focus of further investigations. Not so
much for any ego reasons, but merely because the position really is quite
fascinating with all it's possibilities, and frankly I've learned a few tricks
with it. :-)  I'll post, when I have something.
