I know but with many resources. Certainy a better choice than h7-h6. Anyway I
wouldn't have found Qa6 either and am very amazed of Hiarcs' capabilities.

Looks also good.

>(17... Qa6 !? 18. g3? (18. c4!? Rxf1+ 19. Nxf1
>Rf8 20. Ng3 Qf6 21. Nd2 Bg5 22. Qe1 Qxd4+ 23. Kh1 unclear)

Black can get 3 pawns for the piece, 2 connected passed pawns. They may be very
dangerous. (23...Bxd2 24.Bxd2 Qxc4) But it doesn't seem to be clear.
At the moment Hiarcs prefers 20...Bxg3 with an equal position.
20...Bxg3 21.Qxg3 Rf1+ 22.Kxf1 Qxc4+ 23.Kf2 Qe2+ and draw by 3x repitition.

However these analysis show that black would have had MUCH better chances than
in the game.
