There is not really much point to this, but, maybe just for fun, consider the position after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Nxd4 Nxd4 5 Qxd4 b6 6 Bc4 Bb7 7 O-O Bc5 8 Qxg7 Qf6 9 Qxf6 Nxf6 10 e5 Nd5 11 Be3 Bxe3. At the time, after about one second, White played 12 fxe3. In fairness, it was, if I remember correctly, a 10-minute game. If you stop for more than one second after 11...Bxe3, do you see any problem with 12 fxe3 and an alternative that you would prefer?
