White has already won. He has a material advantage.

Oh my god, I remember this one, months ago I had spent more than an hour on this and was so close when I finally gave up and looked at the solution. 🙁

White loses a piece in at most 2 moves, either 1... Qxd3 or 1...Qg7+ and 2... Qxh6. Computers misevaluate the position as advantage for black.

Really? They are made "by hand", the composer's ideas are worn out at a certain point. When all the ideas by the composer have been found by the solver, the solver himself is finished too. 😉
