The line with Rxg3 is definitely an improvement. However, I think White may still be able to hold this. I'm looking at the position after 26. ... Bg7 27. Ng1 Rxg3 28. Ne2 Rf3 29. Ng1 c5+ 30. dxc6 Ned3+ [D]r5k1/pp4bp/2Pp4/8/1n1KP1p1/1P1n1r2/PBB4R/R2Q2N1 w - - 0 1 Where White should definitely play 31. e5! After 31. ... Bxe5+ 32. Kc4 b5+ 33. Kxb5 Rb8+ 34. Ka4 Nxb2+ 35. Ka3 Nxd1 we arrive at this position [D]1r4k1/p6p/2Pp4/4b3/1n4p1/KP3r2/P1B4R/R2n2N1 w - - 0 1 And now White has 36. Bxg7+! a move that would not be possible had White not jettisoned the e-pawn at move 31. After 36. ... Kg7 37. c7 Rc8 38. Rxd1 Bxh2 39. Nxf3 gxf3 40. Bf5 Rxc7 41. Kxb4 or similar, I think White should be able to hold if the bishops are kept on. I welcome further analysis. Hopefully, the diagrams are correct this time. I'm not sure what the problem was in the previous post.
