27. Rab1? A crucial moment. White’s intermediary move is obviously bad. After 27. Qxf4 Qe5 as well as 27. Bxf4 Ne5 the chances are about equal.
27. ... Ne5 28. Qxf4. 28. Qc8+ Rxc8 29. Rxb5 Nxd3 also much favours Black.
28. ... Qxd3? Much stronger was 28. ... Qxb1! 29. Rxb1 Rxb1 with an overwhelming advantage.
29. Bb4 Qe3 30. Qxe3 dxe3 31. Bxd6 Rxb1 32. Rxb1
27. ... Ne5 28. Qxf4. 28. Qc8+ Rxc8 29. Rxb5 Nxd3 also much favours Black.

29. Bb4 Qe3 30. Qxe3 dxe3 31. Bxd6 Rxb1 32. Rxb1
32. ... Nd3? A grave miscalculation. Correct was 32. ... Rxa5! 33. Bc7 Rc5 34. Bd6 Ra5= with a draw.
33. Rb8+ Rxb8 34. Bxb8 e2 35. Bg3 Nc5 36. e5 Kg8 37. Kg1 Kf8 38. Kf2 Ne4+ 39. Kxe2

39. ... Ke7. Of course after 39. ... Nxg3+ 40. Ke1 the a-Pawn is unstoppable.
40. a6 Nc3+ 41. Kd3 Nd5. Or 41. ... Nb5 42. Kc4 Na7 43. Kc5 and wins.
42. a7 Nb6 43. Kd4 Kd7 44. Kc5 Na8 45. Kb5 h5 46. h4 g6 47. e6+ Kxe6. If 47. ... fxe6 then 48. Be5! and Black is in zugzwang.
48. Kc6. Illustrating Steinitz’s maxim: “The King is a strong piece”.
