Sure he can! After 10.Bxe7 Qxe7 11.f3(h3) Nf6 12.0-0-0, he has almost achieved already to lose the d6 pawn for nothing.

what about?

Bh4 - black has weak light squares and that knight seems very akward. White should be fine.

Besides, white usually plays f3 before Qd2.

Houdini 1.5 gives white a 0.59 advantage on my computer after f6, but I think it overestimates black's position.

That's at depth 20

Amazingly houdini doesn't think black is that much worse after 9...Nf6. I think my computer might be broken.

Ah, yes. This looks crushing. I think white will just resign... 

Have you ever thought giving up chess and being involved in something you can eventually understand?

what about? (9. Bg5 f6)

Your g4 knight is then stuck out of place when it should be defending on f6. Now white just plays Bh4 and gets a bonus option of planting a knight on d5 along with other moves like 0-0-0 or f3. Black is likely going to lose that game.

in no way is black losing i think you overestimate whites position
