Insomniac played it in less than 3 seconds. >Unfortunately, while the flashy Bxh2+ has real flair and definitely nets a pawn >in value, the pedantic, stodgy Qg4 puts you up by nearly a piece: Unfortunately you use the wrong program for mate attacks. Crafty is the wrong program to analyze positions when the king is in trouble. Chessmaster6000 is the right program. Chessmaster6000(ss=10) found in less than 2 minutes that Bxh2+ wins more than a piece. after 7 minutes and 55 seconds the evaluation is 5.45 pawns advantage for black and the main line begins with Bxh2+ Kf1 Rxe3 fxe3 Qxe3 Chessmaster6000 found Bxh2+ in 3 seconds and changed its mind for Qg4 and after 1:56 it changed its mind again to Bxh2.
