Perhaps this is a good time to mention that, although the source c ...[text shortened]... is analysis because of the sheer complexity of the position. Perhaps we have found a couple.
6...e5 7.Qg7 Qf8 stops the wQ from using h6. White's pieces are starting to get shut out of play now.

1.Bh6 Kxh6
2.Qf7 Ng7
3.Ng4+ Kh5
4.Qxg7 Kxg4
5.h3+ Kf5
6.g4+ Ke6
7.Rfe1+ Ke7

you're down a piece and no mate in sight.

Now if there is anyone out there who would like to point out why 2...Ng7 is not an excellent defense for black they should offer some proof. That means don't assume your right (giving one move and expecting everyone to applaud isn't my idea of analysis)
6. R(d) -e1 h5
7. R-e5+ f x e5
8. Q x e5 ++


Not 6. g4+



Any way to win after Qc8?

We all know this line is for losers. So why are you still interested in it?

and
6............e6
7. Rf3 Bxf4
8. Rxf4 Qc7
9. Rxf6 Qxf7
10. Rxf7 Nd6 all looks quite forced.

Black has chances to win because of his more active king and better pawn structure.
