Some comment about this position, I sent to Peter McKenzie years ago:

Perhaps an even better testposition would be after h3? (g1Q??) Avoid g1Q and
find g4. I think, this has the advantage, that it cannot be found so easily by
pure luck. Engines may think, that Bg4 and h3 are the same otherwise with
transposing PVs and exactly the same score for Bg4 and h3 - so pure luck which
is preferred.

Dieter
