Yes, Hiarcs 9 and Drexel 0.815.

1. Bxf5 gxf5 2. Qg3+ Kh7 3. Ng5+ Bxg5 4. Bxg5 Ra3 5. Qf4 Qf8 (5... Qe8 6. Qxf5+
Qg6 7. Qxc5 Rg8 8. h4) 6. e7 Qf7 7. e8=Q Rxe8 8. Rxe8 Qxe8 9. Qxf5+ *

I would always prefer to play this with white.
Show me how to win with black with only the h-pawn to be left.

True, Bxf5 doesn´t win easily.

Btw, even dubious moves are sometimes the "best" moves.
After all Tal won a lot of games with rather unsound attacks.
