28. Kd3
28. Ke2 wins -But it is very tricky ! 28... Rde8! (28... Rge8 does not work. 29. Kxf1 Rxe6 30. Nxe6 Re8 31. Nc5) 29. Rc7! (29. Kxf1? Rxe6!) 29... Nxh2 30. Kf2 Rgf8 31. Bd7!! is the killer - threatens mate in 2 by Bxc6+ and Na6 mate. and also there is the matter of Black's Rook being under attack. 31... Rxf3+ 32. Kg1 (32. Kg2?? Re2+ 33. Kh1 Rf1#) 32... Re1+ 33. Kxh2 Re2+ 34. Kg1 Rf8 (34... Rg3+ 35. Kf1 Black cannot avoid mate.) (34... Rf6 35. Rc8#) 35. Bxc6+ Kb8 36. Na6#
28... Rb8?
loses quicker.
28... Rgf8! 29. Bd7 Rxf3+ 30. Ke2 Rf6 (30... Nxh2 31. Bxc6 and White has mate in 8 (at most).) 31. Rc7 Nxh2 32. Bxc6+ Rxc6 33. Rxc6 was Black's best line.
