I have been playing this opening on FICS alot and have been getting some easy
wins with white.  It is a great opening to prepare for a tourney game. :)  There
are so many ways black can go wrong.

1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nxe4 4.Nc3 Nxc3 5.dxc3

rnbqkb1r/pppp1ppp/8/4p3/2B5/2P2N2/PPP2PPP/R1BQK2R b KQkq - 0 5

Black to move.  Does your engine like f6?  The books for Shredder 8 and Wael
Deeb's Wizard v4 for arena have f6 as the mainline.  Shredder's book even has c6
noted bad (c6?) in the opening book.

Why do Shredder 8 and my CM9_Slayer prefer c6 by a large margin?  And is either
move really superior.
