Black wins a pawn. White could easily win it back, by exchanging on e6 and then taking on c6, but white doesn't seem to realise this. | ||||||||

Black wants to avoid back rank mates, but 28. ... Rd6 or 28. ....Kf8 are stronger. | ||||||||

White too, doesn't want to fall to a back-rank mate. | ||||||||

29... Re7 |
Black doesn't want the white rook penetrating to the 7th rank, but instead he lets the rook into the 8th rank. Rd6 or Kf8 again were better moves. | ||||||||
