I can't - so I vote for Bxe5, too.

40.Nf3
I like the style of play of this MDC. 40. Rc6+ was surely a drawish move.

40. ... Bd6

We better keep the bishop pair.

Best,
Carlos

I'll go with 40....Bd6 too. Still looks drawn to me though.

40 ... Bd6

... a dead draw.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

I like 40. ... Be6

Losing the Black Bishop for the Knight is not so bad, King has central position and avoids odd colored Bishops. Also it prepares g pawn advance.

Still is drawish though :)

ps.. hope you don't mind me posting to your game.
