I think that solving it means to find not only Nxh6 but to find also a winning
move for white in other positions after Nxh6.

If your program can find not only Nxh6 but also winning moves after Nxh6 c3 and
in more positions after Nxh6 when programs have problem to find the winning move
then I consider the position as solved.

Based on the pv of your experimental Junior I doubt if Junior can solve it fast
based on my definition.

The main question is how much time does Junior need to find a winning move after
Nxh6 c3.
