h6 {This move's idea is to play Nf6-h7 and then f7-f5. I think, this move is
not the best. First of all it is time waste, Black needs to prepare f7-f5
promotion and h7-h6 doesn't help. Nf6 can go to e8 and d7 as well.  Second,
sometimes Bg7 goes to h6, and after h7-h6 the h6 square will be obstructed.
