Critical move: 31.Ng4

[D] 2r2nk1/5pbp/b2p2p1/p1qPp1PP/P1p1P3/2P1NQ2/1rBN1PK1/R6R w - - 0 31

First analysis on TWIC indicated that it was rather a dubious move, because of
31..., Rxc2

However, using S8 (at the time) proves Judit played this move intuitive, because
 it's impossible to calculate the final outcome.
She was right, however

OK, which program finds Ng4? (within 4 hours let's say..)

Regards,
Rick
