Kg7 imo was a good move as it was centralizing, the Bs were >coming off and the b2 pawn history. The b2 pawn is no hiostory after Kg7 Bxf6+ Kxf6 26.Rd2 The question is what black does after that line. If black goes for the b2 pawn by 26...Rcb8 then after a possible line like Rxa5 Rxb2 Rxb2 Rxb2 Ra3 Rc2 Rf3+ Kg7 Rf4 I do not see the win for black. 26...Rc5 is a possible alternative but I do not see how black win it after a move like 27.h4.
