Subject: Capablanca testposition.

The following position is from a game between Capablanca and Bernstein
from Chessmaster's library.

In the annotation says after the move 25...Rh8  :
"Other moves are no better. Two variations given by Capablanca are 25...g5 26.e5
f6 27.Qd3, and 25...g6 26.Qxh6+ Kg8 27.e5 gxh5 28.gxh5, and there is no answer
to the threat of Re1-e2-g2+."

But Deep Junior 8/Shredder 7.04/Fritz 8  prefer  25...Rg8 with a
score ~ -1.00 for black.
Who is wrong? Capablanca and the annotator who believe there is no
defence, or the todays top programs who found Rg8 and believe black
is better?
