Wilhelm prefers exchaning the queen mainly because of its material evaluation,
after some time it does not see a big difference (around 0.05 pawns) between
Qxf7 and Qe5 and thinks that White has advantage anyway.

Wilhelm doen't fear the connected passers, but it is unsure about the right move
and variation:

I'm not sure if Wilhelm is really seeing what is going on.
