How are you, buddy?
I hear you championing White and challenging us to prove you wrong. OK, I might accept your challenge. But just so we challengers don't spin our wheels, please provide us with compelling evidence that White can even equalize.
I don't have the time to run an engine check. But as a human, I think Black is at least equal after the recommended ...Be6. Besides, other moves have been recommended for Black all through this line, and they looked good to me too.
So if we're going to go the the effort of accepting your challenge, Jack, please tell us what specific line you think looks so dandy for White. Otherwise, I think Black has at least a fully playable game.
All the very best,
Steve
I am fine thanks, how are you?
I overlooked 11...Be6! and this seems good enough to allow black to draw. If there is a win for black from here then I would like to see it.
