Below is the complete PGN for that game.   

Oh and BTW, I'm only headed toward 2250 on ficgs, anything higher than that will be extremely difficult to acheive, unless I get a really high-end desktop to regularly and easily evalutate lines to a considerable length

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 5.e5 Ne4 6.Qe2 f5 7.exf6 d5 8.Nbd2 Bf5 9.Nxe4 dxe4 10.Qb5 exf3 11.f7+ Kxf7 12.Qxf5+ Qf6 13.Bc4+ Ke8 14.Qxf6 gxf6 15.gxf3 Ne5 16.Be2 d3 17.Bd1 Bc5 18.f4 Nc4 19.b4 Bd6 20.Bb3 d2+ 21.Bxd2 Nxd2 22.Kxd2 Bxf4+ 23.Kc2 Kd7 24.Rad1+ Kc6 25.a4 a5 26.Bd5+ Kb6 27.bxa5+ Rxa5 28.Rd4 Ka7 29.Bxb7 Bxh2 30.Rxh2 Kxb7 1/2-1/2

As the title alludes to, in the Ponz, after1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 Nf6 4. d4 exd4 5.e5 Ne4, and then 6.Qe2 f5 7.exf6 d5 8.Nbd2, instead of 8...Qxf6, Black can instead try 8...Bf5!?  Then after White's 2 best tries, 9.Nxe4 and 9.f7+, his advantage, per Stockfish 17 at depth 60+, is only 0.1 to 0.15.  

So 8...Bf5 seems viable for centaur play (I play on FICGS and am on my way to 2300 there), and I am about to try it out.  In the line 9.f7+ Black does forfeit King safety, and I've seen Stockfish underestimate King activity, so maybe it's under estimating King safety?  But digging deeper it seems that Black easily holds.

Also in OTB/Blitz play, White my fall for 9.Nh4??, in my 365chess there is one game with this where White won, LOL, there is 9...cxb2! which wins for Black

I will follow up with the results from my centaur game when it's finished.
