White to move

a) Try to find Shakhryar's idea, i.e., the best continuation for White
b) Challenge: evaluate the position

	b) I'd say that the white pieces are still very slightly more active and the black pieces somewhat uncoordinated. Most significantly, the black king is still in the centre. I think this is the determining feature as after, say: 1. Kh1 0-0 black seems fine and about to improve his pieces. Further more, the Bc1 is still stuck. Therefore: a) 1. f5 This was first just a hunch, but it seems either captures is really bad (but I moved the pieces): 1. ... exf5 2. e6! Ne5 (seems safest) 3. exf7+ Kxf7 4. Bxf5 (a pseudo sacrifice opening up the king with a big initiative. 1. ...gxf5 2. Nxe6 fxe6 3. Qh5 + Kf8 4. Bh6+ Kg8 5. Bxf5 and this shoudl even win. 1. ...0-0 since white can't take, he should either castle into security or try to bolster e6. 2. f6 seems interesting enough though complicated after the next few forced moves: 2... Bc5 3. Nxc5 Nxc5 4. Bc4. This might be the best for either side. 1. ...Nc7 The defensive option, but after 2. fxe6 Nxe5 3. exf7+ Nxf7 4. Bc4 Black still has chance for an attack.
