Looks convincing. SpiderChess found the same pv at 4:37 :

10  0:04:24  + 2.68  H4xG6 C4xB3 G6xF8 E7xF8 C2xF5 F8xF5 E3xF5 B5xF1 G2xF1 C8-C2
                     A2xB3 C2xD2 F1xA6 D6xE5 F5xG7 H7xG7 E1xE5
10  0:04:37  + 3.05  H4xG6 C4xB3 G6xF8 E7xF8 C2xF5 F8xF5 E3xF5 B5xF1 G2xF1 C8-C2
                     D2-E3 D6xE5 F1-D3 C2-C3 D3xA6 B3xA2 F4xE5 G7xE5 E3xA7
