>I don't understand this fixation on f5. What's wrong with any other pawn advance >? Black can play h5, g5, f5, and take it from there, any time during the game. >What is white going to do about it ? It is not white that must do something, it is black that is one pawn down and must do something. White simply brings the king on the queen side, since black needs several moves to get the pawn rolling. After that black will have a pawn storm on the king side where his king will be exposed. And a pawn down as in the game. That's why why Fritz prefers to remain "only" a pawn down. Black looks already strategically lost.
