A strong move by Gashimov. Now White's center collapses and he is lost.

27.Re5!
Not allowing ...e5 which would solve a lot of problems for Black, as well as planning to apply more pressure on the e-file with Qe3 or Qe1. Black is so helpless that White can even play h2-h4 and g4-g5 without fear for his own king.
27...Nd7!?
The e-pawn is falling anyway so Black gives it up and hopes to get his knight to an active position.
