A critical endgame is reached where White has a five to two pawn majority as compensation for the exchange. The pawn roller should be decisive.
Deep Fritz 14 found the beautiful resource 12.Qf3!! which amazingly does not lose a piece. Black has many ways to stand worse---all a minimum of +/=. Black chooses to win the exchange but the mobile pawns mass is impossible to stop over the long haul.
There is an error in the notes. It should say that White has a clearly superior position, not Black.
