Here is the position:
[D]r2q1rk1/ppp1b1pp/2n5/3p1p2/3Pn1b1/2PB4/PPQN1PPP/RNB1R1K1 b - - 0 1

2 questions:
1)how much time do your program need to find Nxf2

2)How much time does it needs to find that black wins
after Nxf2 Kxf2 Bh4+ g3 f4?

I believe that Nxf2 is the only move that wins material but I may be wrong.

I am sure that Nxf2 is good for black but it is possible that black has abother
move that leads to big advantage so I may have the same mistake of assuming that
there is only one good move when there is practically more than one good move.
