Right again.  The original:
[D]r3r1k1/5p2/pQ1b2pB/1p6/4p3/6P1/Pq2BP1P/2R3K1 b - - acd 12; acn 34605947; acs
61; bm Ba3 Bf8 e3; ce 637; id "WAC.150"; pv e3 Qxd6 Qxc1+ Kg2 Qb2 Kf1 Qb1+ Kg2
exf2 Qf6 f1=Q+ Qxf1 Qxa2 Kf2;

The alternatives:
[D]r3r1k1/5p2/pQ4pB/1p2b3/4p3/6P1/Pq2BP1P/2R3K1 w - - acd 12; acn 31886956; acs
60; bm Ba3 Bf8 e3; ce -446; id "WAC.150"; pv Qe3 Qxa2 Bg4 Rad8 Qe1 f5 Be2 Qe6 h3
Rc8 Bg5 Rxc1 Qxc1;
[D]r3r1k1/5p2/pQ4pB/1p6/4p3/b5P1/Pq2BP1P/2R3K1 w - - acd 12; acn 33240199; acs
60; bm Ba3 Bf8 e3; ce -480; id "WAC.150"; pv Rc6 Qxe2 Rxg6+ Kh7 Rg7+ Kh8 Rxf7
Qd1+ Kg2 Qd6 Qxd6 Bxd6 Bg5 Bc5 h4 Ra7 Bf6+ Kg8 Rxa7 Bxa7;
[D]r3rbk1/5p2/pQ4pB/1p6/4p3/6P1/Pq2BP1P/2R3K1 w - - acd 13; acn 32806989; acs
61; bm Ba3 Bf8 e3; ce -446; id "WAC.150"; pv Bc4 Bxh6 Qxg6+ Qg7 Bxf7+ Kf8 Bxe8
Qxg6 Bxg6 Bxc1 Bxe4 Re8 Bb7 a5 f4;
[D]r3r1k1/5p2/pQ1b2pB/1p6/8/4p1P1/Pq2BP1P/2R3K1 w - - acd 12; acn 33258791; acs
60; bm Ba3 Bf8 e3; ce -712; id "WAC.150"; pv Bxe3 Qxe2 Qxd6 Rxe3 Qc6 Ree8 a3 Qd3
Rc3 Re1+ Kg2 Qf1+ Kf3 Kg7 h3 Rh8;

The last one appears to be a lot tastier than the others, but all of them are a
dominating advantage.
