27. Be3-d2?
Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move
Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Kamsky must have overlooked Black's next move. White is still in it after the necessary 27. Bd1. No better than the game continuation is 27. Qh7? g5 28. h4 (Now 28. Bd1 is too late because of 28. ... Bf5 trapping the queen!) when Black wins with 28. ... Rxe3.
