Wrong!! In fact, I would call your 28. Nxd8 stupid, really! You are attacking. Why did you take the rook on d8??? Play 28. dxe5 and black is busted. You have threats like e6 and h6. 28. One variation might be: 28...dxc4 29. h6 Ng6 30. Qh5 and black is lost. That was simple. Believe whatever you want, but Deep Blue in 97 was not better than 2700 at best, or more accurately 2650.
