Bad Wörishofen Round Seven

Robert Walz (1955) - Spanton (1876)
Spanish Berlin
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0 Nxe4 5.Re1 Nd6 6.Nxe5 Be7 7.Bf1!?
This retreat is overwhelmingly most popular in ChessBase's 2024 Mega database.
7...Nxe5 8.Rxe5 0-0 9.d4 Bf6 10.Re2!?
Unusual, but Stockfish16 and Komodo14.1 reckon it is as good as the normal 10.Re1.
10...Re8 11.Bf4 Nf5?
White to play and win
