Zappa sez Rxg6 cleans house for white:

1. Rxg6 Kxg6 2. Rh3 Bxg5 3. Qxh5 Kf5 4. Rf3 Ke5 5. Bxf7 Ra8 6. Qxg5 Kd6
 = (4.64)       Depth: 7/35     00:00:08.64     2154kN
1. Rxg6 Kxg6 2. Rh3 Qh6 3. Qe4 Kg7 4. Bxh6 Nxh6 5. Rg3 Ng4 6. Qe5 Rf6 7. Qxh5
Rg6 8. Rxg4 Rxg4 9. Qf7 Kh8
 = (9.51)       Depth: 11/49    00:01:53.65     31441kN

The mistake seems to have been Rg3. After Rxg6 Kxg6 Rg3 Zappa sez white gets a
small advantage:

1...Bxg5 2. Rxg5 Kh7 3. f3 Qd6 4. Rxh5 Nh6 5. Rxh6 Qxh6 6. Qxh6 Kxh6 7. Bxf7 Re1
8. Kf2 Rb1 9. b3 Rb2 10. h4
 = (-1.26)      Depth: 12/43    00:01:26.10     28327kN

In a human Rg3 would be called a mouse slip :)

Cute game.  BTW, in the diagrammed position zappa gives black a penalty of
almost 2 pawns for having all of the white pieces lined up at the black king.
