h6?! Really? That's just terrible. Qxg2 is much better because after Kxg2 it is black's move so he can play cxNb5 and black has a rook and knight for a queen rather than just a rook.

@F2L4Life, h6 and Qxg2 are about even. After 1...Qxg2 2.Kxg2 cxNb5 then 3.Rc7 attacks the Bishop and the Knight. One will fall.

Yes you are right I overlooked the fork. A more correct line is.
1... Qxg2+ 2. Kxg2 Ba6
I still think it's better for black than
1... h6 2. Nc7 (white doesn't need to capture immediately)
Of course black is lost in any situation, but giving your opponent a free tempo is typically not a good idea.
