25.1...d4!! (This wins at least the Queen) 2.Qxd4 (2.Qd3 Nf2+ wins the queen; 2.Qh3 Ng3+! 3.Kd2 Rf2+ 4.Kc1 Qe3#; 2.Qc1 Ng3+ 3.Kd2 Rf2+ 4.Kd3 Qe4#; 2.Qg1 Nf2+! 3.Kd2 Qe3+ 4.Kc2 Qd3+ 5.Kc1 {5.Kb2 Qd2+ 6.Kb3 Be6#} Ne2+ 6.Kb2 Qc3+ 7.Ka2 Be6+ 8.Kb1 Qb3#) Nc5+ 3.Kd2 Nb3+ picks up the queen.

26.1...f5! and White Resigned as 2.Rxd4 exd4 is followed by 3...Re8.

27.1...Rxe5! 2.Qxe5 (White really has nothing better, as there is no way to stop the invasion on e2 otherwise.) Qf3+ 3.Kh2 Qf2+ and here White Resigned on account of 4.Kh3 Bc8+ 5.g4 Rf3+ followed by mate next move.

28.1...f5! 2.Qxf5 Rxe4! 3.fxe4 (3.Qxe4 Bg3+ followed by mate) Bb4+ 4.Kf1 Rf8 and Black gets a significant material gain.

29.1...Bxb4 2.Rh1 (Threatening mate! 2.cxb4 Qxb4+ loses 2 pawns for White, giving Black a winning ending, but this rook move fails too.) Bxc3+ 3.Bxc3 Qb6+ 4.Ka1 Qxf2 and Black is winning.

30.1...Kf7! (1...Re8?? 2.Qd5! wins for White with the threat of 3.Rd8. After 2...Qxd5 3.Rxd5 Re1+ 4.Kf2 Rc1 5.Rd8+ Kf7 6.c8=Q Rxc8 7.Rxc8 White is winning.) 2.h3 (2.Rd8 Qe1#) Ke7 and Black wins as the king is now close enough to prevent Rd8, and otherwise is just 2 pawns up with no compensation for White.
