Rybka thinks that White is slightly better here. Considering also that White
scores only 48.8% after the Nge7 move (a ten percent swing from this
alternative) it seems to me that it is not as good for black as Nge7. Of
course, I am not a chess expert. Maybe someone like Robin Smith can offer more
insight.
