It's not possible for me to say that 23. ...Rxg2! is a winning move, but it is
certainly the most interesting one that leads to winning chances for black. I
believe most programs would play Ra8 . I believe it is the best move, but I'm
not a strong enough player to say that with conviction. Initially after this
move. Tiger 14 shows almost a +2 for white. By move 30, it is decidedly less
certain of the position.

Black's position is now one that many players would be comfortable with. No
Shootem' out tactics -- just well evaluated positional type moves that have
turned the tide. All this in game 3" 2' (ugh!)
