Wow, nice afternight results.
G27 was finally a draw instead a win for Houdini and G28 a win for Stockfish.

G27 is some strange, because at one moment both engines agreed the
advantage was more or less -3 in a R+R vs Q + passed pawn fight. This, I
understand, was because both engine where computing at some moment
the passed pawn will cost a rook. This turned false in the end. Can both of
them miscalculate so bad?

Very instructive the way white defended in that game.
