Baron doesn't find Nf6 withing 10 minutes now. And also when forcing a few moves (Nf6 Kh8), the score doesn't rise above +1. In the game the real mistakes were made earlier. 6..Bc5 has a very bad scent to it (6..Be7 is the better option), and I think 10..Bb6 limits its options as well (compared to 10..Ba7) Richard.
