  Looks like 1 h5!! wins. A pawn or king capture gets Black mated. If you ignore the pawn 2 h6 seems to win.

  This is the same continuation that I noticed. I agree.

  I noticed h5 also very quickly but believe it came from memory rather than good analysis.

  Funny how I can remember tons of master games I see but make many blunders over the board.

  Who are the players/year of this game?
