Subject: Hard position?

Author: Steve Timson

This position is from a game Chester played on ICC vs. a human.

[D] 1r3rk1/pbqnnppp/4p3/2ppP3/p2P4/B1PB1N2/2P2PPP/R2QR1K1 w - - 0 15

Chester's opponent played Bxh7 and went on to win.  Chester has a very hard time
understanding this position.  It doesn't realize Bxh7 is a good move until a few
moves down the resulting sequence (Bxh7 Kxh7 Ng5+ Kg6 and it sees the swing
after Qg4).  How do other programs do here?  Do they see Bxh7 in a reasonable
time period?
