I compared the variant with an older Necchi book, from Shredder 5 (Dec.2000): It
has 7.Re1, but with probability zero. There may be transpositions involved. The
position before 10.Nf1 was in that book already, too and it has Nf1? and Re1
with 50% each. But it's not prepared for 10...Nxf2 or 10...Bxf2+.

This *may* be bad luck, like it happens when games are imported into an opening
book. Even IMs and GMs miss such chances then and when :-) and the book cook
can't spot and edit anything. Here, Black may have missed to capture on f2 in
the source game. I didn't find the position in my databases though.
