Or not 27.RxRP?

You have got the machine into a very blocked position in which you have enough
time to mate him!
That's very clever (or lucky?), but obviously it's not all that easy to do or
Kasparov and Kramnik would also have arranged similar things in every game, but
evidently were unable to do so at will.
I take it (I didn't play through the game, though) that a human at rather lower
level than computer would not have allowed this position against itself.
