Quote:In my opinion, Black has varius possible counters to the plan starting with 14. Ne5
1) 14. Ne5 Qf6 ( my post above)
2) 14.Ne5 Bd4 15.Nf7 Bxc3 16. bxc3 Qf6 ( this is better than line 1)
3) 14.Ne5 , 0-0-0 15. Nf7 Qg6!?
4) 14. Ne5, Rf8 15. 0-0 Bd4
2) looks like a good suggestion - I missed your strong Qf6
for the other ones:
1) 14. ... Qf6 15.O-O Bd4 16.Nxd7 Kxd7 17.Rfe1 (or 17.Rfd1)
3) 14. ... O-O-O 15.Rd1 with idea 15...Qf6 ? 16.Nxd7 Rxd7 17.Be6
4) 14. ... Rf8 15.Rd1 Bd4 16.Nxd7 Kxd7 17.Be6+ Ke8 18.O-O
in these three variations I think Black will be lost sooner or later
for 2): Bd4 15.Nf7 Bxc3+ 16.bxc3 Qf6 I suggest 17.O-O and I'm not sure if Black can solve all his problems (first of all the h8-rook is hanging, Black King is still unsafe, whites rooks will come to d and e files,...)
I am sure you can find antidotes against an immediate loss of the game in most variations (chess is wonderful!) - but it looks like a very narrow path. Is playing this variation worth all this trouble?
