Hmmm... Looks like you have found a resource for black here. The point with
6.-Bb7 being 7.Bb1 Ba6!. In the moment white plays Ba2, black must answer
it with Bc8 - and just in time the black bishop can reach e8 - i.e. 8.Ba2 Bc8
9.exf5 exf5 10.Bg8 Bd7 11.Bh7 Be8. Can't see how white can gain a tempo
somewhere. After 6.-Bb7 white can sac the bishop with 7.exf5 exf5 8.Bxf5 gxf5
9.Kxf5, but I can't see a win for white here. Maybe another GM overlook,
commenting this game. Won't mention the name of the GM nor the magazine where
I found this game...;-)
