As noted in my followup to my followup ..Kg7 is _no_ solution though :-)

Crafty 17.13 :

15->  97:20  -5.18   1. ... Kg7 2. h6+ Kxh6 3. Qf6 Ne5 4.
                                    Bf8+ Rxf8 5. Qf4+ Kg7 6. Qxe5+ Kg8
                                    7. Qxc7 Qxc7 8. Rxc7 Nb2 9. Bc2 b5
                                    10. Raxa7 Nc4 11. Kh2

Not by much though it seems ; the position isn't that good anyway . I let Crafty
17.13 search both ...Bxf3 and ...Nxf2 . Here is what I got :

17->  86:48  -1.09   1. ... Bxf3 2. hxg4 Bxg2 3. Kxg2 Bxd4
                                    4. Rd1 Rd8 5. f4 Bxb2 6. Rb1 Qd4 7.
                                    Qxd4 Bxd4 8. Bxa6 Nc5 9. Bb5+ Ke7 10.
                                  Rb4 Bc3

17-> 204:33  -0.85   1. ... Nxf2 2. Rxf2 Bxf3 3. Rxf3 Bxd4+
                                    4. Kh1 Rd8 5. Bg5 O-O 6. Bxd8 Rxd8
                                    7. Be4 Qc5 8. Rd1 Nxe5 9. Rb3 Nc4 10.
                                    Qxa6 Nxb2

To call ...Nxf2 the best move needs additional proof IMHO . Remains a little
dubious.

Greetings.
