by a bishop+queen battery, with the bishop in front and your king already castled... in a lot of games i go over in the art of attack by vukovic, the guy plays h6, but my engine recommends g6,.... which do you guys prefer

i guess the human doesn't like weakening the dark squares and the engine doesn't like getting checked

With the knight on f8...there's no checkmate.

I simply play h6. What would the disadvantage be of that? A bishop check on h7 is no big deal (unless f7 is attacked). Just move the king to h8. g6 usually leaves some holes on f6 and h6 that a knight or bishop could exploit.
