Hmmm...did you maybe move the wrong knight to g5?

That eval and PV lines up if you play Neg5 instead of Nfg5.

After Nfg5 Bg6? f4! things don't look good for black.

Cheers!

Hello Mike:

I tried SF 15.1 instead of SF 15, but I agree with user MonteCarlo: it seems that in the second analysis you played Neg5 instead of Nfg5. I went through the line of the second analysis and the first knight move by white is Nf3-h4, that is, the knight was still on f3.

Regards from Spain.
