At the 5 minute mark it has a score of -1.21 with a continuation of 1...Rg6 2.Rg1 Re8 3. Qd3 c5 4. f3 c4 5. Qc3 Qg3 6. Be6 Qf4. This may all be fantasy but it's interesting to note that c5 was in the plans of Hiarcs also, just later on. It's also interesting to note that Bxg2+ was 2nd on the move list of Hiarcs. So the computers were strongly considering the Bishop sac here. The move c5 was number 5 on the list. Jim Walker
