This position arose between bettween me and Chessmaster for the Palm.  I played
Bxh6 and when on to win.  I wasn't sure if the sacrifice was sound, but it
appears to be with the engines I have when I play through the moves.  I have yet
to find an engine that would play Bxh6 quickly -- .  Chessmaster played  2....
hxg6 which made the win much easier.  In fact after 2. ..hxg6 there are several
force mates and almost all programs find one ot them instanteously.

Below I played outthe position against Frizt 7 w quuick time controls
