Default Re: Curtains vs PoG

I looked into:

12 ... Bxg2
13 Kxg2 Bxd4
14 Qxb4

to see if there was a way to remove the knight that's blocking our pawn. Unfortunately it looks like we drop the d-pawn in this line:

14 ... Qb6
15 Qa4+ Nd7
16 Nxd4

or

14 ... Bb6
15 Na4

and we end up down a pawn, or with doubled b-pawns

Is it worth it for us to give up the two bishops so that we can remove our isolated pawn?

12 ... 0-0
13 Nxe4 dxe4
