I am going to look at it and to see if Nxe6 is losing

I remember that I analyzed it after 19.Bb3 Rxf1+ and Deep Fritz
"started to cry" and saw -1.xx in a few minutes.

I am not sure if Nxe6 is the losing error and I need to analyze move 19 of white
and to see if programs can see a losing evaluation for other moves that are not
19.Bb3

Junior7 has no problem to understand that Nxe6 is not better for white.
Here is some analysis on p200 at playing conditions and it seems that Junior7
can avoid Nxe6 at tournament time control on good hardware
