second, lyudmil: you did very clearly state that 14...f4 was a winning move. ive certainly yet to see any evidence that black is even better at all.
Initially I told that black has some 30cps advantage, which could as well be 10cps, a draw, or 50cps, winning.
When I used the word winning, I wanted to emphasize how wrong top engine evals are.

I'm sorry to intrude in your thread, but the assessment of the position is that after 15..f4 white has a great advantage. Moves like h3 and Qe2 are pure waste of time. The problem is that you have too much confidence in Stockfish's evaluation.
