Your pv above (after qside castle) has some problems, see below. I'd say you've
shown Qc4 is a good alternative, but O-O-O is just as good or better.
1.O-O-O Qh6+ 2. Bd2 f5 3. Qf3 g5 4. Ne5 (4. Re1 ? Kd8 5. Qa3 Kc8 ??) 4... Rg7
5. Re1 Kd8 6. Qa3 Rc7 {+4}
How does Zappa do with the d5 position? (after 16. O-O-O Nd7)
