Black last book move / Schwarz letzter Buchzug} 3. Qf3 d4 4. Bc4 {
White last book move / Weiss letzter Buchzug} 4... Nf6 {
Easier is 4...e6 / Einfacher ist 4...e6} 5. e5 dxc3 6. exf6 cxd2+ {This is wron
g and only improves White's development. Stronger is therefore 6...exf6 or
even 6...gxf6 / Das ist falsch und dient nur zur Verbesserung der weissen
Entwicklung, weshalb 6...exf6 oder gar 6...gxf6 vorzuziehen sind} 7. Bxd2 exf6

komfortablere Stellung} 8... Nd7 9. Qg3 Nb6 10. Bf4 Qe7 11. Bb3 {

Other moves are worse / Andere Zuege sind schlechter} 12. Bxd5 cxd5 13. h4 Bf5
14. Ne2 Bxc2 {? A wrong decision making things easy for White but at the same
time a good test position for a "to avoid move" / Ein falscher Entscheid,
wonach es Weiss leicht hat, aber auch eine gute Teststellung fuer das Thema
"Nicht diesen Zug"} 15. Kxc2 Qxe2+ 16. Kb1 Bb4 {
To prevent Rhe1 / Um The1 zu verhindern} 17. Bd6 {! Delfi has perhaps
overlooked this move Vielleicht hat Delfi diesen Zug uebersehen} 17... Bxd6

SpiderChess avoids Bxc2 after 4 seconds (AMD 2000 XP+)

Tried to paste the output of the engine here, but that looks very messy ..
Should I use List or List= ?

Try the code button instead:

This is not code, but just an example.

Looks bad for black anyway, only -0.29 is probably too optimistic.
