[D]3r2k1/5pp1/3qp2p/2p3P1/1rPnB2P/1p1R4/P4P2/2Q1R1K1 w - - 0 1

Junior played gxh6 with 0.23 pawns against black
The logfile of Junior gives:
38.gxh6 -0.23/17 5:25 53 kn/s

After 38...f5 the logfile gives
39.Qg5 -1.16/17 4:14 302 kn/s
After 39...Rd7 the logfiles give
40.Rxd4 -1.29/16 22 1365 kn/s

You can see that Junior had no problem to see one ply after 38.gxh6 that the
position is bad.

You can see also that Junior was probably slowed down by a factor of more than
20 when it played 38.gxh6

The question is if Junior could find axb3 at  normal conditions and if this move
could save the game.
