Subject: Re: 16. exf4

Instead of 16.Bxg4 if white plays 16.exf4, black has 16...j5! which seems to hold. White can continue to be coy and let the Archbishop hang even further, but the threat of ...jxi4 starts to take steam out of white's attack. If black gets in ...jxi4 then a follow-up ...h5 would be very strong. The reason is, if white takes the en passant capture with gxh6 e.p., black still has the knight to recapture with ...Nxh6 since white did not play Bxg4.
