r4rk1/pp2qpp1/nnp1p2p/2b1P1N1/2P2P2/6N1/PP2Q1PP/R1B2R1K w - - 0

after the move 18.f5 the move hxg5 is a mistake.

Junior5.4 suggests Qc7 after a long time(almost 3 hours on pentium200MMX)
main line begin with 18...Qc7 19.f6 g6 20.Nf3 h5 21.Rd1 Rfd8....

no it is not obvious.
The fact that it is obvious that after 9 plies of the game black is losing does
not prove that after 9 plies of search black is losing.

white cannot find 19.f6 because it is afraid from different lines(not the game
line).
