So Shredder says it is .19 worse than Qa5, which _also_ looks a bit suspect...

I'm not sure what this proves, if anything.  I personally like Nh5 better than
Qa5...  As black I'd like to start something on the king-side.  Whether it is f6
and e5 or f5 directly doesn't matter as the knight has to get out of the way
first anyway...
