c6 is better than the move d6. The continuation would be c6 Qh4 check g6 Qe5 threatening the rook Rg8 Bg5 and d5 is the only move that secures the drawn position for black. All other variations are winning for white. Hope I helped
Great point! If Black plays c6 White idea still remains the same, it's putting the pressure on the e-file. 10...c6 11.Qh5+(in order to create weakness on the kingside) - g6 12. Qe5 - Rg8 13. Bg5 adding the pressure to e7 Knight. Engine can say it's equal, but from the human perspective it's very easy to go wrong with Black pieces.
@@weekndchess well yes with perfect play it is a drawish position but well i have beaten IMs over the board in such games so it is difficult for black to find the actual continuations after the sacrifice of the bishop. Practically speaking I could go as far as to say white is winning.
great video
Thanks!
