Nf3 Qxe2+ {Strictly speaking, only this is a new move, but in principle the
entire Black's conception is quite remarkable: Black enters an endgame a pawn

Such a conception is typical for instance in the Marschall Attack of the Ruy
Lopez.} (10... d6) ({and} 10... Qf7 {have been played before.}) 11. Kxe2 c5 12.
Re1 Bb7 13. Kf1 Bxf3 14. gxf3 Rf8 {[#]  This looks like the critical position
