    White is winning here.

    Compare that to this:

    1.Nd7? Nxd7! 2.Qxe6+ Kh8 3.Qxf6 Nxf6.

    Clearly Black is better in this line.

    So 1...Bb4+ is a bad move.
    I am sorry I only looked at the diagram breifly and thought that the king could not go to f1

    First thing i noticed was the tactic. Then I asked myself how to get the knight out of the way with tempo and found Ng4. I liked the resulting position. Then I looked at other moves and didn't like them much.

    Then I compared it with fritz to see what it like for white.
