One of the problems is that there is not concrete path for white that wins. I found that the best line with 15.Ng5 leads to R versus B+P with white having the Rook (+1,40 evaluation of Shredder 8). While with 15.d5 there is a clear PIECE advantage for white OR a position: BN versus R with white having BN and with a better positional distribution of pieces(+2,30 evaluation of Shredder 8). Can you give your best line for white after 15.Ng5 e6 ?
