Only if your engine likes to take a dive.  ;)

               12->   3:15   3.52   1. Bxg7 Kxg7 2. Rxh6 Kxh6 3. Qh2+ Kxg6
                                    4. Be2 Qxc3 5. Rg1+ Bg5 6. Rxg5+ Kf6
                                    7. Qh6+ Ke7 8. Qh7+ Kd8 9. bxc3

4...Qxc3 leads to black being mated with Rg1+ Bg5 Qh5+ Kg7 Qxg5+ Kf8 bxc3 Rec8
Qg8+ Ke7#.

4. Be2 Bb6 and the game is still 'interesting'.  Gotta go get the knight and
pawn...
