Actually, even though Qxh6 is a loser, Qh4 turns out better than Nc6. With some
extensive analysis, Shredder gives:
1. Qh4 (1. Nc6+ Qxc6 2. Qxb8 Qxc3 =)
1... Kf8 2. Rad1 (2. Qxh6+ Ke7 {-1})
2... Kg7
(2... Ke7 3. Bxe4 dxe4 4. Rxe4+ Kd7 {+1})
(2... exf3 3. Qxh6+ Rg7 4. gxf3 Ne4 5. Qh8+ Rg8 6. Qh4 Ng5 7. f4 {+1})
3. Bxe4 Bd7 4. Re3 Nxe4 {+0.6}
Some positions are hopelessly difficult, for even the best programs.
