This looks like an unusual and very interesting position. Is there
any good analysis arguing for 20.. h6 being bad? Maybe, Zaitsev's
decisive error occurred only later.

"DarkThought WCCC'99" scores 20.. h6 as roughly +1.5 positive for
Black after completing iteration #16 (see ouptut below).

05:17:39 16.01 h6 Qe3 Nf6+ Kxd3 Nxg4 Qc5 Qxf3+ Kc2 Rd8 Qc4 =1.53 #6049470335
