Definitely thinks it's winning. Plus it gives the correct line right off the bat
once it hits on it. Mind you, until it does though, Nxh7 isn't even listed in
it's top options.

8 plies +0.02 1.Qh4 h5 2.Ne4 Bb7 3.Rd1 Na6 4.Bf4 c4
9 plies +0.38 1.Ne4 a6 2.Nxd6 Qxd6 3.Bf4 Nbd7 4.Bxd7 Rxd7 5.c4 Qxf6 6.Qxe5 Qxe5
7.Bxe5
10 Plies +0.84 1.Nxh7 Kxh7 2.Qh4+ Kg8 3.Bh6 Bg4 4.Bg7 Bh5 5.Qg5 Ng4 6.h3 Qc8
7.hxg4 Bxg4
11 plies +1.10 1.Nxh7 Kxh7 2.Qh4+ Kg8 3.Bh6 Bg4 4.Bg7 Bh5 5.Qg5 Ng4 6.h3
