GauraNitai: @Al2009: After 27.Nf4, black has 24...dxc5. Then if 25. Nxd5, it is met by 25...f5! and it will take time for white to clear the road to victory (although assured). If 26.Nf6+ then 26...Kf7 and white has lost all advantage and the position is perfectly balanced. If you'd like to ...

GauraNitai: The best part is, if black had played the best possible continuation by playing 36...Kg5 instead of Kh5, it is followed by 37.Rg6+ Kf5 38.Qf8+ Rf7 39.Qxf7+ Ke4 40.Qf4# The queen is back to the same square where it was in the beginning of the problem. The beauty of it.
