The question is if the evaluation is realistic after Qg3.

When I give the moves after Qg3 to my computer(Bxd5 exd5 Bf4 Qg4 Qd6 Rfg1) I do
not see a win for white after Bh6.

Maybe I did not analyze deep enough but I think that the main line is wrong and
Qh3 instead of Qg4 is better.

I guess that tiger can play better than the main line in a practical tournament
time control game.
