I have analayzed the following position with rybka and stockfish, both of them say 0.00, but something more human friendly might help - what do you think are the plans for each side? is one said playing only on 2 scores? how easy is it to defend as black (even thou it's possible)?

This variation is from the game Vashier Lagrave - Kasimdzhanov, San Sebastian 2008 where black played 16...e6 and eventualy lost. The commentator of the game said that Bf6 is the best response, chess engines agree with him. There was only one game with the response 16...Bf6 between a 2400 rated player playing white and a 2600 rated player playing black, white won playing a move Stockfish says is an error (17.fxg4), followed by a move Stockfish says is a blunder... so what do you think of the position?
