Looks pretty sure that Qxh1 loses.   So am Qxh1.

But what should CM8000 have played?  I don't see any better alternatives.
Once the knight is out of the way, the rook slides over...
The middle is blocked off, so moving the queen from the back rank won't help to
defend the problem of the forming king attack.

I think the real death-blow probably came much earlier.
Did it go something like this from there:
... Qxh1 Ne1 Qxh2 Qxh2 Kf8 Rxd6 Ke7 Rd3 Bc4 Rc3 Rd8+ Ke3 Rd4 Qxh7 Rad8 Kf3 ...
?

How about posting the whole game.  Also, what was the time control?
