Roughly equal means black can get a draw from this position. I would suggest to play 27...Qg5 28.g4 (28.Kf2 Qh5 29.Rd1 d5! is of course not better) axb5 29.cxb5 (Spike Mainz prefers 29.axb5 but Black is obviously fine after 29...Bc8! with the idea Na5-b7-c5, the key maneuver in this position) d5! 30.Qc7 (30.exd5 Bc5 31.dxe6 Bxe3 32.Rxe3 Qh4+ leads to a draw by repetition) Kf8 31.exd5 (31.Nd2 d4! 32.Nec4 (32.Nc2 e5; 32.Ng2 Qc5) Nxc4 33.Qxc4 e5 leads to another draw by repetition) Bxd5 32.Nd2 Qh4+ (Bb4!?) 33.Ke2 (33.Kd1 Qf2 34.Kc2 Bc3+ =) Rh2+ 34.Kd1 (34.Bg2 Qh3) Qf2 35.Nxd5 (35.Qc8+ Kf7) exd5 36.Qc8+ Kf7 37.Rxd5 Qg1! 38.Rh5 Rxd2+ = Michael Computer assisted >is ok.
