1...Qxc6 2.Qxc6 bxc6 3.Nc5 with a superior endgame, reminiscent of the encounter P.Benko-S.Reshevsky, US Championship, New York 1968.

White already has the better chances thanks to his strong knight and the sad bishop on c8.

A timely exchange that damages White's pawn structure and secures the f4-square for the knight.

Exploiting the mating threat in order to swap the active white queen as well.

Heading for b4 to intimidate the bishop and protect the c4-pawn.

The passed pawn has been neutralized, while the white rooks lack active prospects. Next Black may consider ...Rdb8 and ...Nd3 to put pressure on b2.

Preparing 2 Bxg6+ with further damage to Black's pawn structure.

Transposing to an endgame where the knight will clearly outshine the bishop.

White is better due to his mighty knight in the center and better pawn structure.
