Jul-04-11  Al2009: Why 11. Rxe4?
After 11. Nxf7! Kxf7 12. Rxe4 White seems winning without too many troubles. Maybe Black can try, after 11. Nxf7, 11...Nxf2!? (in order to play 12...0-0! after 12. Kxf2?), but after 12. Nxd8! Nxd1 13. Nxb7 it seems Black is lost, isn't it?

  Sastre: 11.Nxf7 Kxf7 12.Rxe4 looks playable, but I don't think White is winning after <12...Na5 13.Rf4+ Bf6 14.cxd4 Nxb3 15.Qxb3 Re8 16.Be3 Bc8>.
Jul-04-11  Al2009: But I don't play like you suggested...
After 12...Na5 13. Rf4+ Bf6 White can better play 14.Bc2! keeping the Bishop and pieces headed for the Kingside. I do prefer a lot White, it's difficult for Black to defend the King and coordinate pieces.
