a briliant N sac at move 27. Ne6+

several moves later, black resigned from a mating position1

Feb-15-11  belgradegambit: Agreed. Sunday puzzle material at move 27.
Feb-15-11  4tmac: Zhou reached the same position at last years aeroflot as white at move 9.♘h4 quick draw. (by much transposition from an English) Quite an interesting combination. I like the final move which seems an only move to win. The attack seems "old school" to me. :) & at move 38 white announced Mate in 13.
Feb-15-11  sevenseaman: Very impressed with astute N sac at 27. Notice how K taking the P at 31... would be a disaster.

Excellent solid play! Renders whole Q wing of Black hors de combat to have a romp on the K side.

Feb-15-11  vonKrolock: Maybe it's not the only winning move, and even not the faster one. For instance try 27.g4 (Δ}- if 27...cxd4, of 28.f6+ followed by ♖h3 - the available defenses seems to lead to heavy material losses, say:

(a) if 27...♖h8, then now 28.♘e6+! wins quickly;

or (b) 27...g5 28.f6+ with checkmate in a few moves in all variations;

Feb-16-11  regi sidal: I left engine on for ~ 3 hours at move 27.

Feb-19-11  vonKrolock: <regi sidal 3. (3.60): 27.e5 Nd5> This 27...♘d5 defense is not plausible, hardly a human being would play it over the board. Then, besides of the plus result of the variation being "only" +7,53, still we can consider <27.g4> as at least as strong as the text move
