So, playing Ne5 is your improvement over the lines posted by SWJediKnight after 11.Bf4 Bd6 (which this kinda gets to by transposition, though I reckon 11...Bd6 is more accurate as it doesn't allow the combination you played)?
My comments are:
1) 14...Bxe5? is a mistake. 14.Nd5 looks far more suitable to avoid the tactics on the d-file.
2) 15...Kxh7! is a big improvement over 15...Nxh7? Then after 16.Rxd8 black has 16...Bxc3! 17.Qd1 Bb4 and with three pieces for the queen black is probably better.
11.Bf4 Bd6 12.Ne5 looks like a small improvement, but after 12...Nxe5 13.Bxe5 Bd7 I still opine black is at least -/+. The theoretical debate can continue either from 13...Bd7 or, in your game, the queen for three piece exchange after my improvement. No care of practical chances etc - not pertinent, noone cares!
My rating there is currently 1863 but with several winning positions and plenty of other games still playing. So, who knows. We'll see - but we could always have a 'friendly' game.
