No, I'm not clear, sorry.

I was a bit confused by Howard's and Uri's answers, they seemed a little upset
of some sort by  my analysis. Sorry, this is how I understood:

Together with his chess programs Uri wasn't convinced that Qd4 was winning
immediately. I wasn't also at first, so I analysed. After my analysis (FWIW!) I
was convinced Qd4 is winning, so *if* I'm right no need to play h4, as *in
general* it seems obvious to play a winning move, not another.  It seemed to me
that his message was centering around the notion of Qd4 as a winning move. Sorry
if I understood that wrong.

Howard simulated RC on his Athlon 900 and his findings suggested RC might have
played Qe7 after 33…Qd4 34. g3.
I didn't doubt that, thus didn't disagree with Howard, I merely pointed out with
the help of my analysis (again, FWIW) that – *if * RC would have played that
move- I don't think it to be the best solution. That's all.

I thought my analysis might help in the discussion about the "right" move.
It seems I was wrong, oops, sorry. No harm intended :)
