  wwall: Boleslavsky wrote that "the bishop sacrifice 25.Bxg6 hxg6 26.Qh6+ Kg8 27.Qxg6+ Kh8 leads to a draw, since 28.Nh4 yields nothing in view of 28...Bxd5 29.Nf5 Rf7." However, White can continue with 30.Nxe7 [threatening 31.Nxd5] 30...Rfxe7 [30...Rexe7 31.Rc8+ wins] 31.Qxf6+ Kg8 [31...Rg7 32.dxe5 Be6 33.exd6 wins for White] 32.Rxe5 [threatening 33.Rg5+ Kh7 34.Rh5+ Kg8 35.Rh8 mate] 32...dxe5 33.Qxb6, winning the Queen.

  GrahamClayton: Could Korchmar have refused the bishop sacrifice with 25. Bxg6 Bxd5, eg 26. Qh6 Rf7 27. Bxf7 Bxf7?
