26. Rh2
! Very strong. White further protects the critically weak Ne2 while maintaining all other threats.

 
26... Nc6
?! This move feels right, and black was wary of playing Ng6. Perhaps it was better to just let him stay right where he was however.

27. hxg7
White presses forward, and looks to get his queen to the h file.

 
27... Nd4
?? Incredibly bad. Black didn't see the white queen retaking.

 
28. Qxd4
White nabs the free piece.

 
28... Rcd2
Black attempts to keep white distracted.

 
29. Qe3
Looking for Qh3.

 
29... Rd3
! Nice tactic.

31... Rf3+
Black clings to the cliff.

 
32. Kg1 Qe3+
! Black can now defend h7 and give a brutal pin after 33. Kh1 Qe4.

 
33. Kh1 Qe4 34. Qd8+
White's only real attacking option is with his queen, so........

 
34... Kxg7 35. Qg5+ Kf8
If white plays ANY move that doesn't deliver a check he is lost.

 
36. Qd8+ Kg7 37. Qf6+ Kf8 38. Qd8+ Kg7
And draw agreed upon. A very interesting game I thought. - Thomas
