Thanks Mats, White sacrifices Queen, and then Black sacrifices Knight.

Like the WWII song year 1943, ''When your're up to your neck in hot
water, be like the Kettle and sing.''
Computer says White is winning after 25 ...K-g8 26 dxc6 bxc6. Fine, both
sides have counterplay, and neither should resign, White having the better
distribution and Black Queen unable to utilize the checkmate diagonal
b2-h7.
The better Move 25 invalidates the supposed perfect inevitable finish,
and the burden is on the admirers to support each suspect line. The game is
Kramnik's single best all-time and also on other top-ten lists.
I am decided White's next best move is '27 R-h6...' Would that be
correct?
