After 23...gxf6, White can at least regain the piece with 24.Qg6+ Kh8 25.Qxf6+ and 26.Qxb6, remaining a pawn up with attacking prospects due to Black's exposed king and bad bishop.

Loose Pieces Drop Off.

Rf1 [32. Qc8+ keeps an even firmer grip Kh7 33. Qf5+ Kh8 ] Ne2+ 33. Kh2 Qd2 34. f4 1-0.

This is one of those games where Fritz gives no improvements for the one side who just drifts down into an inferior position (in this case losing the exchange) and by then the suggestions don't impact the ultimate outcome. Notice there is no punctuation for the clever 23. Bf6 but then "??" for the plausible 30 ... Qxa4.

I don't see anything wrong with 27 ... Qxa4 and the Ba2 is pinned.
