whatever computer says Bb4 is a killer, and not even to hard to find when the B
is in b5 already. Actually after Be2 instead of Bb5 or Ba6 white is not bad at
all.

I think Qa3-d6-a3 was to much time for Judit to build up the attack: whit had to
be coherent and go at least for
23.dxe6 and accept 23...Rxb2! 24.Rxb2 Qc1+ 25.Qd1 Qxb2 26.exd7 Rd8
and here on 27.Qd2! black has to find 27...Qb1+ 28.Qd1 Qe4! to keep the king in
the cage otherwise on e.g. 27...Qa3 white escapes with 28.Nd4 and 29.f4.
The endgame would be still bad but playable.
