I remember that I tried to play the position after Rxe5 fxe6 2.Bh6 with black
with the help of my beta version of Junior(Junior4.6 was the commercial version
and I used a better version) in this board about 1.5-2 years ago and could not
win with black.

I am not sure what I played but I think that I played a6 and the opponent
replied Re1 at some stage of the game that was a strong move.
