Nd5 seems to take care of it (of course, Nd5 seems to be the only good response to me, but I am a patzer). I am not a good enough player to see the real advantage for black of 10 ... Qe6. I see 11. Nd5 Qxe4 12. Nc7+ Kd7 13. Nxa8 Qxc4 14. Nb6+ axb6. Now, white is down knight and two pawns for a rook, but white will eventually mobilize his rooks onto 2 of the 3 middle open/semi-open files and black has both a king and a queen in the middle of the board and doubled b pawns. It doesn't look REAL great for black, only so so. Please explain. Thanks, KarinsDad :)
