Junior5.3 showed after 25 minutes Re1 fxg4 Rxe6 gxh3 Rg6

It did not show a winning advantage but after following this line I found a
winning advantage for white.

I gave Junior5.3 the position after Re1 fxg4 Rxe6.

gxh3 is a mistake and Junior5.3 after some hours prefered Rc6 for black with
only 1.0x pawn advantage for white (I do not remember x)
