Subject: Testposition:12..Nxe5, 12..Nc6, or 12..Bc5?

Hello everybody, I am having some difficulty interpreting this position. Is
12.Nxe5 the only move? Is White winning regardless? Should I throw away my
latest settings for Pro Deo?

I had some slightly conflicting search results in the position I gave in my last
post http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?418597. That only makes it a
more interesting position I think.

S&D 6_7e3 Pro Deo 1.1 surprisingly to the point. I expected many switches not to
be working anymore. But overall this search seems good, in this postion at
least.

Assuming this is anywhere near correct than 12.Nxe5, 12.Nc6 and 12.Bc5 all have
chances to draw. If anyone thinks this is wrong, please tell me.

Mobility at 125, I hope I can get that to work. Also [Pruning = MISC_30] *
extend singular checks idem. This is responsible for including Nxe5 in the
search. Maybe this extension description is not valid anymore but it works. So I
take back the "Grrr"  from my last post about 12.Nc6! Just had to report this
before every programmer starts tuning for a version of their own programs that
plays 12.Nxe5 only!
