    Can't figure this out if someone could help me..... why black doesn't capture the knight on e5 in his eleventh move. And why white doesn't move the knight after that?



    1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4 d6 5 Nf3 0-0 6 Be2 e5 7dxe5 dxe5 8 Qxd8 Rxd8 9 Nxe5 Re8 10 Nd5 Nxd5 11 cxd5 c6 12 Bc4

    Black should definitely take the knight.

    Could it be that there is a mistake in the record of the game and that white actually played Bg5 or some other move instead of Nxe5? Re8 would be a natural move after Bg5 to get out of the pin.

    Must be a mistake in the book i'm looking at. Thanks for looking at that, much appreciated.
