25. Bxf4 Bxf4 26. gxf4 Rxg5+
?! a move which wins a queen for two rooks but Rxf4 was better. After Rxf4 , if Qxf4 Rxg5 and the white king has to go to h1 as Kf2... Rf5 wins the queen and after Kh1 ...Bg2 Kh1 Bh3 Qxg5 Qxg5 Kh1 Qxd2 black wins a piece

 
27. fxg5 Rxf2 28. Kxf2 Qh4+
Avoiding Qxg5 Rg1 winning the queen.

 
29. Ke2 Bg4+ 30. Nf3 Qxh2+ 31. Ke3 Qxb2 32. Rac1 Bxf3 33. Kxf3 bxa4 34. Kf4 a3
White runs out of time. This is a very interesting game from the marshall and shows how a gambit ties down the defenders resources and makes it hard to find active plans.
