  FSR: 10...Bc6! is surprisingly good. More common, and also playable, is 10...Be7, as Kramnik and Shankland recommend in their Chessable courses. But Stockfish 17, depth 53, slightly prefers 10...Bc6. After 11.e5, Banas' 11...dxe5 12.Qxe5 Nd7 is playable, but after 13.Qg3, best is 13...Qb6! 14.Bc4 h6 15.Bd2 O-O-O.

However, the best response to 11.e5 is 11...Qa5!, when Black has already equalized, e.g. 12.Bxf6 gxf6 13.exd6 (13.exf6 O-O-O is slightly better for Black; White's extra pawn is more than counterbalanced by Black's bishop pair) Qe5! 14.d7+ Kd8 15.Qb6+ Qc7 16.Qf2 Bd6 17.Bd3 Kxd7=.
