First, on 35. Bd8, 36... Nd4 was not black's best, and it's not what he played (g5). I don't think you'd get that positive eval with g5. Second, for 35. Be3, 38...rh1+ is not black's best either. But the real point is that 41. Rc7+ is not the right move, rather Rc5, giving a +0.5 score or thereabouts. So, I do think in this instance at least, that Bd8 was inferior, and Be3 was the move. WW
