green ink: Otoh, 27...g5! and there is no mate. White still has a lot of pressure, but I don't think there is a win anytime soon.

green ink: Incredibly, after 27.Qf5+ Qxf5 28.Nxf5 black could have played for a win with Nxe1 29.Ne7+ Kb8 30.Ng8 Nf3+ 31.Kf1 e4, and white is still in trouble: 32. h8Q (dxe4 Bb5+ 33. Kg2 Nh4+ and Ng6) exd3. Fire up the analysis engines to see if the black steamroller can be stopped! I'd have

green ink: Must have been mutual time trouble: 37. Qg3 forces an exchange of queens, with a likely draw. 39. - Qf3+ 40. Kg1 Qg3+ wins immediately. But then we would have missed out on the magic that everyone comments on. Needless to say, I didn't see that one coming.
