Yes
Seems that Rc2 is better than Qe6

After some hours of analysis I get the following tree
Still needs to prove a win in the line of 3...f5 4.exf6 Ne4 5.fxg7 Qxg7 or maybe
there is something better for white after 3...f5 but Fritz seeems to like white
after 5...Qxg7(unfortunately it does not give main lines so it is hard to find
the reason for fail high of it)
