I have no plan here. I glanced at ...Ra8, ....Bd6 and ....Qd6 and couldn't find anything convincing. I will just vote along with whoever comes up with an idea (even a bad idea).

My vote : 26 ... Bd6 .
Qd6 looks really bad. It overloads our queen and increases our back rank weakness and threatens to permit b4 soon.

The move could be either Bd6 or Bc3 As both made a partial blockade of b4 square. Bd6 should be better because it keeps the pressure in h2 so the white queen could not move yet. I suppose the machine will play Reb2 or Bd2. Against either move Bb4.

I vote for 26........Bd6 .
I suspect that the Tasc might then play 27.h3 intending Qg4 with renewed threats against g6.
