l l!xd7+!!
1 gxh6? g5+ plays into Black's hands.
l ~d7 2 gxh6 lt:'.lxh6
2 @e6 doesn't save the game either: 3 h7 !

3 @gS lt::\fS 4 @xg6 lt.Je7+!?
Forcing White to play extremely precisely.
5 @f7 lt::ld5 6 h4 lt.:lxc3 7 hS lt::le4 8 @g6!
8 h6? lt::lg5+ 9 @g6 lt::le6 throws away the
win, since the knight can stop the h-pawn on its
own and the king is consequently free to deal
with the white queenside majority.
8 ... lt.:lcS (D)
8...S>e7 9 h6 lt.:lf6 10 a4 +-.
9@f61!
The only winning move, since it serves two
purposes: transferring the white king to the
queenside via e5 and shielding the advance of
White's h-pawn.

9 We8 l0h6lt:'.ld7+ I l@e6b4 !2@d6+-.

The simplest. 12 h7 lt::lf8 13 h8lt::I+ should
also win (13 h8'&? lt::lg6+ is only drawn).

White has to choose the right square here.

l@c4?
White should play I f5 gxf5 (1...b3 2 @c3
@d5 3 f6 gxf6 4 h5 gxh5 5 gxh5 Wxe5 6 h6 +-)
2 gxf5 b3 (2 ... @d7 3 h5 +-) 3 S>c3 Wd5 4 e6
fxe6 5 f6 gxf6 6 h5 +- since the e6-pawn prevents
its king from entering the square of the
black h-pawn.
