    ( 12.Ne4 {This should give White a slight edge after} 12...Nxe4 13.Bxe4 f5 14.Bd3 c5 15.e4 Rc8 16.Qe2 {!} 16...cxd4 17.Bc4 {but instead of the now recommended} 17...Bxe4 18.Bxe6+ Kh8 19.Nxd4 Qe7 20.f3 Bc5 21.Bb3 Qe5 22.Be3 Bb7 23.Qd2 {+= is true, but Black had the stronger 21...Rfe8! = and more important in the recommended line, Black can even try to play for a win with 17...Qe8!! =+ and it will be White to search for a draw. A possible line is given in the second game analysis stated below.} )
