After 1.Nxh3 gxh3 2. a5 Black can try to eventually capture Bxg3 (Bg1 or >Bc7) but white's advanced queenside pawns will be lurking. Any good defense here >for black? 1. a5 Bc7 ( or similar ) 2. Bd4 wins 1. ... Bg1 2. b5 Kf8 or whatso ever then 3. Be5 Ke7 ( or is there something better ? ) followed by Bb8 , b6 and a6 where it seems Black has to sacrifice its Bishop to hold the pawn when remaining material should be sufficient to win . Not perfectly worked out at all ; just the ideas . I don't think Bxh3 works the same way ; as after 1. Bxh3 gh 2. a5 Black has Bc7 with counterthreats like Bxg3 while in the starting position the knight on h3 is of no special worth IMHO.
