I do not agree about it.

I cannot be sure as a human if black has enough compensation to win the game and
I am sure that part of the humans are not going to play Nxh3(my first thought
was that black may not have enough pieces for attack when the black rook at b5
need some moves to join the attack)

I considered it as not good enough when I looked at the position without
computer analysis.
I know now that it is a good move but it is only because of checking the
position with chess programs.
