Weiß gewinnt

At first sight this game ( commented by Bringer ) might not seem that
interesting : "Ok , another amateur prog gets spanked " one may think ...

But watching it was very thrilling and also raised some interesting questions .
So a more subjective view :

The opening was Paulsen , one of Bringer's pet lines IMO and both progs agreed
that after move 26 black was much better ( which seems to be a major
misevalution ); also the human spectator mistakenly evaluated the same way   .
Now the key moves following :

27. f6 ! ( found by Tiger in the last moment , suddenly failing high ; very good
move  ! )

27. ... Nc2 ! ( great counter ; after failing low on everything else at last
suddenly a very promising way to fight back ! )

28. Ng4 !! ( again found very late , and the dashing key move to win the game
where Nxc2 is not very convincing . )

The rest is silence .

I think this is an interesting sequence and I wonder what other progs will do
here ; these are 3 critical moves a prog should find .

But then the even more interesting question : which prog can correctly see this
_before_ playing 26. ... Ba6 and maybe even avoid it ?

From a non-master-player view I really can't find the point where black went
wrong . Watching games live sometimes can be fun .
