I am not sure if Kh6 is better than h4(both moves are probably losing)

Here is some analysis by Fritz8
It likes Kh6 but changes it's mind later to h4 and I suspect that the same could
happen with deeper blue.

I do not have the logfile of deeper blue near me but even if it's line is
better(when it considered h4) it does not prove that deeper blue saw the tactics
because better line can be a result of a slightly different evaluation.
