Impressive.

I wonder if black can transpose the moves here... because after 1...g5 2.fxg5,
2...d4+ is given as the best move (see my previous post). Maybe black can play
1st 1...d4+ too? This has probably been discussed before somewhere. I can't
analyse this... Hiarcs 7.32 is one of the fastest for 2...d4+, but seemingly too
slow 2 plies earlier (or I am not patient enough :o). Multi pv analysis would be
interesting, to see if 1...g5 and 1...d4+ are equal.
