16...axb6 is indeed not easy to counter, but after some analysis i think i found interesting ideas for white to this position! The resulting positions are often far fom clear, in order to give final evaluations one should play this positions out, but from a practically view easier to play for white.
As this time there are quite a lot variations, i made a pgn-file where you can find all my notes to this 12...0-0-0 variation.
Have fun with it and if you have suggestions for either side oder comments about the resulting positions, please tell!
27. Nd5 is worth a serious thought in your line. It's quiet, but black has to avoid
a lot of pitfalls. Normally I wouldn't care about lines up to the 27th move, but almost the entire continuation is forced anyway. Kudos on your entire idea though, I just don't think white's 27. Rd1 challenges black enough since the position you marked as += at the end is just extremely unclear (neither side is easy to play).
Sample line: 27. Nd5 Qxb2 28. Qf7+ Kc6 29. Qc7+ Kxd5 30. Rd1+ Ke6 31. Rxd8. White has two pawns for the B, and a continuing attack. I've tested a lot of variations after 27. Nd5 (ie: 27...Qc5, 27...Qd6, 27...Qd4), and so far it's been very promising.
Let me know what you think.
