Comments.Text: I'd play Kg8 instinctively. So does Stockfish. With increasing depth, the value goes up and up, confirming my gut feeling that the position is hard to defend (good bishops don't defend bad pawns - this means you, e6!). In the meantime, +5 and Black didn't lose a pawn yet. So, I'm tempted to say, Rubinstein or Carlsen win this for White.
