| sbevan: As a follow up to <goodevans> excellent comments, Chess 24 has this analysis: 26…f4! and it would be anyone’s game, but instead Ruslan was tempted by 26…Qxh2?, when after 27.Qd6! Korobov was suddenly winning. Play continued 27…Qg1+ 28.Ke2 Qxc1. Here 29.Qxc7? would lose ... |

Whilst "an interesting try" after 26 Kd3:
1. The B is under attack;
2. W threatens to promote;
3. B is still a R down.
