I get Bxg2 after 6:30 min in one run, after 3:00 min in another with a
score of +1.95 on P6/200. However, if I play Bg7 and analyze from there,
it looks even better (Bg7 b6 Bxg2 ... +2.80). If I play Bxg2 and
analyze, I see only +1.80 (Bxg2 Kxg2 e4 {if Bg7, Rc2} d6 ...).
Maybe with a deeper analysis, the difference between Bxg2 and Bg7 will
become academic. Black wins in both, it seems.
