Be6 is not the best reply, as Art says, Nh7 wins (Mate in 8) and it is quite easy to find. I briefly tried my engine Gaviota and Crafty and they have to see that Bf5 /Rg3 Bg6/ e6! Ncxe6/ Rh3 wins. The key e6 blocks teh black queen to go to e5. Also, 1...Ne4 gives a fight, not an immediate win but loses a pawn. Looks like it is is an interesting position. Miguel
