Are you guys sure that you have/posted the right position? Bf8 sounds perfectly fine in this position and after a quick glance I do not think it is in trouble. Since I am prone to hang a piece in front of the screen I quickly checked with gaviota and it sees not tactical blow. b4 looks extremely overconfident to me. V.Wely kills himself with confidence in both games with black.
