I gave 28...Qe1 which seems to be better because it attacks f2 and white has to
sacrifice the exchange with Rxc8. I gave only one line because I dont see any
reasonable defence for white.

Some have stated 25...f4 26.h3 should have been a draw and this is not the case.
It was not my point to prove that black has a forced win.
there should exist better moves for white than 26.h3.
