After forcing those moves, Chessmaster 9000 (SKR personality on a P4-2.4) still shows a good score for White. I think (perhaps inadvertantly) the point is that f6 is the BEST move and that the engine shouldn't fail TOO low on f6 Nxc4+...? Not sure.... Perhaps the point is to see that, after the above moves, White must play 4.Rc1 rather than 4.fxe8=Q which leads to a draw. I also believe, after a lot of analysis and playing around with lines, that f6 does not necessarily lead to a forced win. I DO believe that it is the best move, however.
