Nice analysis, but what about 15.Ai3 ? Is it a good move or black has a defence? Difficult to answer i know, as there are millions of options but my instinct,without doing any analysis, says that there must be a defence.
But i think it's better for G.V not to take the Archbishop. With this move i gain 2 VERY IMPORTANT things: The open j file that is a "killing" file for black and the open d1-j7 diagonal, which is a "killing" diagonal too. I think these 2 worth way more than my Archbishop. Does newer versions of G.V play this capture too?
