Seriously the poster did not expect Arno to play 13...h6 but suggested the position after h6 as test position. The position is clearly not easy for computers and they even have problems to see that white is winning after Nf5 0-0 Nxh6 gxh6 Bxh6(in case that the poster is correct). I did not have time to check it seriously at the time of this posting. Uri Uri
