White to play
27.Be3 The trick?White hopes for 27.... b6? when
28.cxb6!White can ignore the pin!After 28.... Qxc2 29.Nxc2 Rxc2 and now...
.... 30.b7 is absolutely winning!
That would've been nice,no?
Alas it was not to be and in the end I erred by rushing a passed pawn,overlooking a mate in 1 threat (gah!) in my calculations,and had to concede a draw.
