I do not think that 17...Rxc3 will be played by
any computer program. And by the way: I have still
not found a win for Black in the following line:
[Event "40'/40+40'/40+40'"]
[Site "MyTown"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Neue Partie"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "2r2rk1/pp3pp1/4bb1p/q2p1P1Q/3P4/2N5/PP4PP/1K1R1B1R b - - 0 1"]
[PlyCount "23"]
[TimeControl "40/2400:40/2400:2400"]
1... Rxc3 2. fxe6 Ra3 3. bxa3 Qb6+ 4. Kc2 Rc8+ 5. Kd2 Qxd4+
6. Ke1 Qc3+ 7. Ke2 Qc2+ 8. Rd2 Qe4+ 9. Kd1 Qb1+ 10. Ke2 Qe4+
11. Kd1 Qb1+ 12. Ke2 Qe4+ 1/2-1/2
