Interesting game! Gothmog also likes Bxh2. It chooses this move on
ply 8 after 5 seconds of thought, and keeps it as its best move at least
until iteration 13 (when I stopped the search):

The columns are search depth, eval, time in seconds (yes, I should make
it display the time as mm:ss), nodes searched and principal variation.
As you can see, Gothmog prefers Kg1 rather than Kg3 after Bxh2+ Kxh2 Ng4+.
It considers white's king too exposed after this sequence of moves; if
I let the program analyse the position after these moves it evaluates it
as almost +2 for black (drops to +1 after two minutes).
What does other programs think about this position? Are there any strong
players here who can comment on the correctness of the sacrifice?

The rest of the game is also very exciting. Thanks for the link!
