I think not... Ng7 allows the White Bishop to capture at d5 and it has control
of the nasty diagonal at f7.  It allows White 2 bishops, at least one of them
come to live, and the d4 pawn becomes a passed pawn and mobile, which in turn
can allow the dark square Bishop come to live also.  Restriction and trade down
to a safe endgame is the best policy, thus I believe that Bc6 is better than
Ng7.
