OK I worked on this from my own board, and now I change my assessment.  After f5, I now think black has a good chance of at least a draw in this awful position, 50% or better.  I am having a hard time seeing how StockFish could have played Kh8 in any of its versions regardless of the platform and settings.

 

f5 picks up a knight for the pawn, then once one of the black knights is sacked back, the position no longer puts the ug in ugly.

 

DeepMind has some esplainin to do?
