Absolutely. However GM's still often calculate better than computers in narrow and deep forcing lines. Computers do relatively better with bushy and wide but less deep tactical lines. Narrow ultra-deep tactics are relatively rare, so computers are better at tactics most of the time. This position seems to be one of the exceptions. >>Fritz 8 suggests Nd2, a passive move insteed of attacking the kingside with f6 >>immediately.

Nd2 also leaves white with an advantage, but it does not look like a winning advantage, at least not accordning to engines. The immediate f6 seems to clearly win, and thus it is (probably) better. -Robin >Uri
