Great. Now I vote for Bb4.

We may try later Re8 and d5, or e5 + d6.

My vote : 27 ... Bb4.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

What if white retreats (Be3 or Bd2). Do you plan to play Bg7 and give up blockade on b4, or do you plan to leave the bishop on f8 and join me in demanding pushups as compensation from people who voted for Rf7? ;)

Let's not hurry with Bb4.
what will we play after 27...Bb4 28. Qg4? 28...Kh8 (Bf8) looks forced and now white could even play Bxg6.
What you people think of this line?

I sense We are getting in a sort of zugszwang.

I suggest a waiting move, let's see what the machine is up to.

27...Ba8

would white not then prepare unstoppable b4 by playing Bd2 ?
