I appreciate that 'nobody likes a bad day at work' is a not unobjectionable sentiment, but a Fritz 8 search shows not a lot of difference between ... Qa1+ and ... f4 so far (40 minutes, PIII/1.2, 256MB RAM) and other engines are equivocal: [D] 2b2rk1/Rp5p/3p1qpQ/2nP1p2/2P1p3/8/P1RN1PPP/6K1 b - - 0 1 Analysis by Fritz 8: 1. (-0.72): 25...f4 26.Nf1 e3 27.Nxe3 Bf5 28.Rc1 Qb2 29.Rd1 fxe3 30.Qxe3 Bd3 31.f3 Bxc4 2. (0.00): 25...Qa1+ 26.Nf1 f4 27.Ra8 e3 28.fxe3 fxe3 29.Qxf8+ Kxf8 30.Rxc8+ Kf7 31.Rc7+ Kf8 (Alastair, London 29.01.2003) It's interesting that the other engines I try (Crafty 19.01, Comet B55) like ...
