  FSR: This drawing variation is important for the theory of 10...Bc6! in the Richter-Rauzer. Surprisingly, White has nothing better than repeating moves.

  FSR: An ICCF opponent played 16.Qf2 against me. It's OK, but gives no advantage after 16...Bd6. Black will play ...Ke7 and ...Rad8, then take the pawn with rook or bishop as appropriate. The bishop will get a nice home on e5.

Note also that White could have won a pawn with 13.exf6 (instead of 13.exd6). After 13...O-O-O followed by ...d5 (or vice versa), the pawn doesn't mean much, and is outweighed by Black's bishop pair and two central pawns. The pawn on f6 will probably fall eventually. Black is slightly better.
