I asked a very strong human and he thought about 30 seconds and said Ne6.  I
asked about Nxh3 and he said, "looks interesting but after .. .. .. (a few
checks and replies) I don't see any progress and I am down a piece."

Whether he is wrong or right is open to debate so far...  But that is two humans
that didn't like it very much.  Me and "X".  Only difference is that X is over
2500 FIDE. :)
