How did black get here? I've seen white sac that many pawns in something like the Goring gambit or something, but black?
I am not sure black is winning, but after looking at it a bit about the only move I see is Kd1. Can't play d3 to cut the bishop off so I can castle, as the queen check or the rook taking on c2 is a problem. Can't play c3 as Qd2 seems to be problematic. I let Crafty run for 30 minutes on an 8 core box and had a score near zero... Hard to say how this ends. Black's lead in development is significant, if it can be used and if queens stick around.

I am almost sure It is winning for black.
Kd1 Te8 Te1 (only move) Db6 and White looses AT LEAST pawn f2 without solving its problems.
For example: Dd4 Lc5 Dg4 h5 Df5 Lxf2 Te5 Lg3 Txe8 Txe8 c3 g6 Dd5 le2+ -+
or: Se5 Dxf2 a4 Lf6 Df3 Dxe1 -+
By the way, much better than to just run an engine and wait, is to play the variations and see what happens (with engine support of course). It took me 10 minutes to find that White is almost chanceless. I dont understand people that just start an engine and wait, when they "analyze" positions.

The game came about while doing some evaluation tuning. Unfortunately it was played in Arena GUI which didnt have auto save enabled.
