Nxf6+ is better as it forces... 10... gxf6 otherwise...(10... Qxf6 11. Bg5 and the Queen has nowhere to go) 10... Be7 11. Qc2 h6+/- 12. Bh4= >= 12. Nxf6+ Bxf6 13. Bxf6 Qxf6 12... Nxe4 13. Bxe7 Qxe7 14. Bxe4 Na5 15. Rfe1 Rfd8+/- 16. Ne5 moves the N to a good square and threatens b4, winning the N or Bxb7 Nxb7 Nc6 winning the exchange. 16... f6?+- stops b4, but still loses the exchange. 17. Bxb7?+- Unfortunately, 16 ... f6 also loses the Queen, but I had already closed my mind to other possibilites once I had seen winning the exchange so I missed the decisive Bh7+! 17. Bh7+! Kh8 18.
