Bf1 Rxc1 {or ..Ba6 first, either way Black is doing excellently}) (13. Nc4 {strangely enough this has been White's choice in 7/8 games in the database, but trading off the poor a5-Knight can only be bad for White. Black scored 64% from here.

White gets 3 pawns for the piece with an active position, leading to an endgame which feels like White is the one in the driver's seat} 15. Nh4 f4 16. Kh1 {the only move after which White isn't just worse; after Rf1 we minimum get a perpetual and can try for more, everything else is notably minus} (16. Rf1 fxg3 17. hxg3 Nf4 18. Nc3 Nh3+ 19.

21. cxd3 {We have arrived at a similar position to that from the normal mainline (White 2 pawns up, the doubled d-pawns, Black with very active pieces), but White had to avoid a load of pitfalls on the path and his King is in permanent danger} Be5 {Bringing the Bishop to its ideal square} 22. d4 (22. b3 {normal moves such as this one still very quickly lead to White getting crushed, eg} c5 23.

25. Ne4 Qe6 {Covers g5 to free the lsq Bishop, as well as threatening ..Nc4} 26. Qe2 c4 {..Nc4 was actually still possible, but this is seen as even better by Mr.Stockfish; the lines continue but are all 0.00 from here}
