"Deep Fritz is saying that taking the pawn by 74.Bxe4 will eventually put White 7.49 points ahead, which would happen only if it sees that White can make a Queen and win, since a Queen is valued at 9 points. But that the position after 74.Bxe4 is indeed drawn by the reply …Ne5 is shown by the online server of perfect play for 6 or fewer pieces maintained by Knowledge for IT in Germany."
