I think resignation is a bit premature, though one might question your sanity
for taking on such a strong program full strength!

I thought ... Nd4 was an interesting try.  CM9000, Junior personality - pretty
aggressive and good at finding attacking ideas [sometimes] says the following
about this on my P1.8 GHZ 512 MB laptop:

Time	Depth	Score	Positions	Moves
0:06	1/10	0.68	870870		16...Nd4 17.hxg4 Nxf3+ 18.gxf3
					Bxf3 19.Rd3 Bxg4 20.Rg3 h5 21.Bc4

0:15	1/11	0.76	2077699		16...Nd4 17.Nxd4 cxd4 18.Rxd4 Bc5

					22.hxg4 Bxd4+ 23.Nxd4 O-O
0:37	1/11	0.68	5011057		16...h5 17.hxg4 hxg4 18.Ng5 Nd4
					19.f5 Nxf5 20.Nge4 g3 21.Nd6+ Nxd6
					22.exd6 Bf6 23.Be3
1:18	1/12	0.74	10678669	16...h5 17.hxg4 hxg4 18.Ng5 Nd4
					19.f5 Nxf5 20.Nge4 Rd8 21.Rxd8+

					19.Ne2 Rd8 20.c3 f6 21.hxg4 fxe5
					22.fxe5 Bd5 23.c4 Bxd4+ 24.Nxd4
					Bxc4 25.Bxc4 Rxd4 26.Bxe6
2:16	2/13	0.81	19070104	16...Nd4 17.Nxd4 cxd4 18.Rxd4 Bc5
					19.Ne2 Rd8 20.c3 f6 21.hxg4 fxe5
					22.fxe5 Bd5 23.Bb1 O-O 24.Bg6 Bxd4+
					25.Nxd4
4:04	2/13	0.65	34076929	16...h5 17.hxg4 hxg4 18.Ne1 Nd4
					19.Bc4 O-O-O 20.Be3 Nf5 21.Rxd8+
					Bxd8 22.Bd2 Ng3 23.Kf2 Bh4 24.Nd3
					Ne4+ 25.Ke3 Nxd2 26.Kxd2 Bxg2 27.Bxa6+
					Kb8

So CM9000 [Junior] prefers ...h5 here over my ...Nd4.
