10. Qxf3

10...Be6

Great news.

What penalty, if any, does Lc0 incur for running in MPV mode?
I think with conventional AB engines doubling the PVs effectively halves (?) the speed of the engine.

1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Qf6 4. Nc4 fxe4 5. Nc3 Qf7
6. Ne3 d5 7. Nexd5 c6 8. Ne3 Nf6 9. f3, but think the hey line is 6......c6 and not d5

I think 6...c6 might lose to 7.d3

in the line above I go 9...ef

I used to play this all the time (black obviously) when I needed a full point. It is filled with tactical opportunities. Is it winnable by black? Absolutely.

5... Qf7
6. Ne3
white wins

Let's put the ball in the back of the net:

1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Qf6 4. Nc4 fxe4 5. Nc3 Qf7
6. Ne3 d5 7. Nexd5 c6 8. Ne3 Nf6

If that's your line above, your move.

1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Qf6 4. Nc4!? (regular 4.d4 may be slightly better) ...fxe4 5. Nc3

and I wonder how many OTB players would find 5...Qf7! to stay in the game
