h6 is the last choice of chessmaster6000 after 4-5 hours.
main line begin with h6 Rxf7 Qe8

The line with 21...axb3 22.axb3 Qc7 Rxf7 was not the from the last iteration
It changes the move Rxf7 in this line in the last iteration.

Chessmaster can see only an advantage of slightly more than 1 pawn for white
both with 21...axb3 and with 21...h6
