Okay, there have been some questions about whether Rebel could have survived
after 26.Bg2. So after 26.Bg2, let's play Qc2. Now White can't take the queen,
so there is 27. Qe1 and 27. Qf1.
Let's go with Qf1 first. Now 27...Qxb2 28. Bxh3 Ra1 29. Rxb7 Rxf1+ 30.Bxf1 h6
31. c5 dc 32.dc Qc3 33.c6 Qxc6 34. Rxb4 and a winning plan for Black is not that
clear to me. The black king and queen can't simultaneously attack h2, and f2
can be defended by the rook, so where is the win? 27...Bxg2 28. Kxg2 Qxb2
doesn't appear to lead to anything conclusive for Black.
The situation with Qe1 is different: here, 27...Qxb2 is not possible because of
Ra5!, so let's try 27...Qxc4 28. Bf1 Bxf1 29. Rxb4 Qd5 30. Qxf1 Kg8 and his
position is nothing to write home about as long as White does not carelessly
play 31. Qc4??
I get the feeling that Black would have much better chances if he wasn't getting
back-ranked in so many of the subvariations, but seeing how this isn't the case,
Black's advantage does not appear to be as big as I thought it was.
26...Qd2 might be better than 26...Qc2, but I don't see a trememdous difference.
