... although perhaps Bh6 is better.  I have two versions, one of which gets Bh6
and one gets Qxd4.  The one that finds Bh6 has a higher score by several pawns,
but I think the position at the end of the Qxd4 line is a forced mate.

The win involves Qxd4 exd4 Rxa7 and there is a massive mate threat on a8.
