Chessmaster6000(ss=10) can see scores of more than +10 for white in the root
position for Bh6.

Chessmaster does not see a simple mate for white in the line
Qxd4 exd4 Rxa7 and black can choose between Kb8 and Nd7 with scores of around +4
for white.

Even after Qxd4 exd4 Rxa7 Nd7 (Nd7 is not the move that chessmaster expected)
the score is less than 4.5 pawns for white after some minutes.
