Bh3 did not lead to a quick knockout but does have that startling effect if played against a human. In the long run a move like Qg6 may be as good or better than the dramatic Bh3. It reminds me of Karpov's old quote which ran something like, "many roads lead to Rome. If there is a sharp combinational path or a quieter positional path I will choose the quieter road". That is not the exact quote but the meaning is close to what Karpov was saying. Your new Cyrix chip seems to be working out nicely. What is the Rebel bench test score for it? - not the one from the startup assesment but the one where the three test positions are ran.
