One day again.
This will be very interesting to follow. White does have an advantage but honestly I think very few people could convert this into a win for white. I don't think I would be able to but i'm curious how the master played this position.
I like
26. a4
not really because of the attack on the bishop (its forved to move to a decent square...but because white needs to hold on to his queen side pawn advantage (making the bishop move is defending the pawn)
for black the respons should be quick..:
26....Be2
this move pressures the knight and devlopes the bishop to a safe square (if rook take than rook takes back) the knight on f3 cant go anywhere so white is going to have forced double pawns while heading into an end-game😛...hes up a pawn but now white is relitivly unactice (sure his knight LOOKS nice but it cant carry out a real threat on the pawn...black can play h5, follow by Nh6 and the f7 pawn is more than safe)

Alright...this move doesnt seem too complicated
27. Nh4 attacking the unprotected (due to pin and double attack) pawn
This also applies more pressure on the kingside and forces black to tie down more defences to his already cramped kingside. If Bh5 (defending pawn) then h3 followed by g4 and white has an attack on the kingside
Black is too stretched out...the fRook is pinned in defending the fpawn. The bishop can permantly go anywhere without giving white an advantage. Whites bank rank can be quickly defended by eighter h3, giving a flight square to the king and preparing the g and f pawn attack. The knight should probably go somewhere...Nf6 looks good simply because it gives a flight square and black cant be emidiatly punished.
27...Nf6 simply because black has nothing better to do.
Great thread, just picked it up, hope you don't mind me joining so late on:
27. Nh4 freeing up the f pawn to play f3 to restrict the black knight after 27...Nf6. also winning attacking the g6 pawn
27....1-0 black might chose to resign now with the ineveitable loss of the pawn and the lack of mobility of pieces...might play 27...Nf6
