Sure it is!  Notice that it occurs at move 4, by which time Nxg6 is completely
possible.  (The alternate position you also posted is something entirely
different and not related to the web site I referenced, so I have clipped it
from this response.)

I still contend that the web site is wrong, and that White can draw.

Can anybody analyze this with their computer and confirm or refute that
conclusion?
