Maybe they saw a finish like 26. Qxg5 Rg8 27. Qh4 <Nxg4> 28. Nxf7+ Qxf7 29. Rxf7 Rxf7

Seems to me like White has to give back the material, with a drawish ending. For example 30. Bxd5 exd5 31. Kf1 Rf2+ 32. Qxf2 Nxf2 33. Kxf2.

You know there's an engine button on the site now, right? I tried it, and it gave a long line starting with 26. Qxg5 Rg8 <27. Qh6> and claimed an advantage for White.
