Subject: To ?? or to !!

This position has bothered the most for the longest time, it was fascinating to
see that the chess engines I used to analyse this position gives a ? or ?? for
Black's move 26. ... Bg7.  Eric Schiller awarded this move !!, Fritz awarded ??,
so the $64.00 question, who is right? The position is listed below before
Black's 26. ... Bg7
[D]r5k1/ppp4p/3p3b/3Pn3/1n1KP1p1/1P3rP1/PBB1N2R/R2Q4 b - - 0 26

Now Fritz 6, and Gambit Tiger like the move 26. ... c5+, when I play the move
26. ... Bg7, both engines think that White can save this position, can this
position be really saved after 26. ... Bg7?

[D]r5k1/ppp3bp/3p4/3Pn3/1n1KP1p1/1P3rP1/PBB1N2R/R2Q4 w - - 0 27

This position seems to be a tough nut to crack.  It could be one of those
positions which humans are better than chess engines in tactics !!!
