Hi Chris,

I got my Shredder 9 copy today, so I of course let it analyse a bit here too. :)

The other line has just the advantage that it's a forced draw. But apart from
that I don't see any evidence that 1.Bd5 is clearly better than 1.Bxb7.

After 1.Bxb7 e2 2.Re1 Rf8 3.Kg2 we have

[d]5rk1/pB2n3/6pQ/4q3/8/2P3P1/P3p1KP/4R3 b - - 0 1

Analysis by Shredder 9 SE:

3...Rf7 4.Qd2 Nf5 5.Ba6 Nh4+ 6.gxh4 Qe4+ 7.Kg1 Qg4+ 8.Kh1 Qf3+ 9.Kg1 Qf2+ 10.Kh1
Qf3+ 11.Kg1 Qf2+ 12.Kh1 Qf3+
