I remember a claim that Bxh7+ could be a win for kasparov
There are 2 questions:

1)Is it a proved win?
2)if it is then is it the only win?

I believe that chess programs have no problem to see that Bxh7+ is at least a
draw for white so the fact that deep blue saw it with a draw score is not
impressive.

I believe that if you change the contempt parameter of chess programs to
evaluate draw as advantage of a pawn for white they will also find Bxh7+
