Thamks! I just got feedback from a GM friend, who says that "on first glance,
18 f5 looks like a crushing move!", and is surprised that current searches don't
find it.
I tried Rebel10 up till end of a 12-ply, but it still preferred 18 Nge4, with 19
Nxc5, which goes
nowhere! I noticed a line from its analysis though, where White plays 19 f5 and
20 Bxh6,
that leads me to think that 18 Nge4 wins about as well! (18 f5 is obviously the
'nicer move' though...)
