The GM annotator to a game says that White wins as follows if Black plays
5...Bxg2, but Fritz does not agree:

"5...Bxg2 6.Qh5+ g6 7.fxg6 Bg7 8.gxh7+ Kf8 9.Bg5!! Nf6 10.Qh4 Bxh1 11.Ne2
planning Nf4, and even a rook down, White's attack is too strong."

Fritz thinks Black is better here, with 11...Na6 or 11...Kf7 being best.

Is 5...Bxg2 really bad?  If so, is this line the refutation?  If so, how does
White continue?
