With the idea of coming across to the d file also to support the d pawn advance. |

He also seems to be planning to bring his other rook to d8. |

I take the rook. I had looked at this position before, which is a reason why I played g2-g3 so that in this position so that he couldn't now take my pawn on f4. |

Gameknot criticises this move too, preferring 27. e5 Qb6+ 28. Rc5 Ne6 29. Qd7 Bc6 30. Qe7 Be4 31. f5 Ng5 32. h4 Nf3+ 33. Kf2 Qb8 34. Qxf7+ Kh8 35. f6 gxf6 36. exf6 Qa7 37. Qg8# but this looks good. If he checks on b6 I can drop my rook back to c5 and if Ne6 I can take his knight with my bishop. |

I hadn't considered this! Now if I take he has Qb7+ winning the rook on c8. |
