If you are even remotely interested in chess do yourself a favor and watch the World Cup Tiebreak Game 4 between Tomashevsky and Morozevich:

Sian your 5. Nxe5 was actually a blunder. Black should have played 5... Qd4, when he gets the advantage after either Nf3 Qxe4+ Qe2 Qxe2+ Kxe2, or Ng4 Qxe4+ Ne3 where the knight is badly placed on e3. Clearly he missed this, as after the move he actually played, white's just up a central pawn with a better structure and no compensation.

At first glance I'd say
b5

More thinking now:

...Nd8 is probably the response. It's a little tricky but doesn't really stop anything. Anything else let's white move d7 next though. But after Nd8
b6 and then d7 will win next turn.

smile ... Chess season started out slowly yesterday with a friendly 'watch-match' against the neighbors ... played 16'th board and won as black in a game which the analysis consistently rated between 0.53 to -1.03 (but neither of us playing the best moves when it mattered so it most often was dead even), but won due to the opponent having to follow near perfect play for quite some time due to several coexistent threats against a fractured pawn structure, ending the game nailing a pawn in his king defense for which his intended protecting piece was pinned leaving me up a measly pawn and no connected pawns for him.

Nice way to start the chess year smile

23 .. Kc7
24. Rxf6
