I looked in the game and it is 16...Ne5 and not 17...Ne5 What was Rebel's evaluation before playing 16...Ne5 and after 17.Qxb7 I tried some programs and they liked 17.Qxb7 after 16...Ne5 (Junior5.9 shows a small positive score for white) The interesting question is if rebel can win other programs after 17.Qxb7 in comp-comp games. If 17.Qxb7 is real mistake than Rebel should win other programs after this move. Junior5.9 likes 16...Rb8(expecting 17.e5 Nxe5 18.Rxe5 a6 19.Qe2 Bxe5 20.Qxe5 Rd1+ Bf1) Uri > >4r1k1/ppprqpp1/2nbp1p1/1Q6/4P3/2P3P1/PP3PBP/R1B1R1K1 b - - id Zagorskis,D - >Rebel Century; bm c6e5; > >Ed Schroder
