7.Ra1? bxa1N–+ (or 7…bxa1B 8.Bc3 Bd4!–+). Even the exchange of Bishops does not save the White: 8.Bf2 Nd3 Bxc5 9.Nxc5 –+ (The white pawn is stopped on the Troitsky line!)

8…bxa1B 9.Bg3! Be5 10.Bxf4 Bxf4= Black has two extra but useless Bishops;
8…bxa1Q (R) stalemate

9.Bc3! Nb3 10.Be5+ Bd6 11.Bxd6+ Kxd6 12.c5+! Kc6= Black has two extra but useless Knights, because the white pawn crossed the Troitsky line!
