Rf2 Nd4 5. Rxb7 Rb8 6. Rxb8 Rxb8 7. g4 Qg5 8. Qh3 Rb1+ 9. Kg2 Rb2 (Eval: -1.6 for white) Better for white seems: 1. Bf2 b6 2. Be3 Qd7 3. Rf2 Re7 4. Raf1 Qe6 5. Bd4 Nd7 6. c3 Ne5 7. Rd2 (Eval near 0) Also 1. Bf2 b6 2. Qd2 Qd7 3. Be3 Qg4 4. Rab1 Re7 5. Qd1 Qh4 6. Qf3 Rfe8 looks about the same. Jeremiah
