(This is an improvement over NCO, which according to Tapia gives 12 exf6 and after Nxf6 says the position is =. 12 Nf3! keeps the advantage with White) 12...fe 13 fe g6 14 Qe2 Qg7 15 e4 d4 16 00! dc 17 bc Rd8 18 Qf2 Rf8 19 Qe3 b6 20 Bc4 Ne5 21 Ne5 Rf1+ 22 Rf1 Ne5 23 Be5 Qe5  24 Qf3 Qg7 25 e5 Rb8 26 Qc6 (+-) Qe7 27 Rf6 Bb7 28 Be6?
