BTW, after ef5 gf5 Bf6 Bxc6 Qxc6 Nd5 (if bd8 >here then rxg7+! w/ mate in 9). Unfortunately, I can be as dense as osmium at times. After making the move Bb7, and considering white's chances, here is what the program came up with: r4rk1/1bq1bppp/p1npp3/1pnB1N2/4P1P1/2N1B3/PPP1QP1P/2KR2R1 w - - Plies: 12 Nodes: 121000668 CE: -11 pv: Bxc6 Bxc6 Nd5 Bxd5 Nxe7+ Qxe7 exd5 Na4 Kb1 Qf6 Bd4 e5 Be3 b4 Rge1 Pm: Bxc6 Crafty thinks that white is only down by one tenth of a pawn here.
