Rxe6 Rf7 20. Ng5 * 1-0 Is move 12 ... f6 the best for black here? How about Nf6 as an alternate to move 12 ... f6? It seems to hold on a bit longer than the game continuation. Perhaps the programs that chose 8. ... Bxc3 see black's position as holding after the follow-up 12. ... Nf6? But still a nice example as I think Bxc3 would be avoided by GM's.
