π 23.Rf1!
An excellent idea. White calculates that the exchange of queens on d4 will enable his c-pawn to provide the passed d6 pawn with some very effective assistance. This requires the rook to immediately return to the b-file which to me all makes quite an impression. 23...Qd4+ 24.Qxd4 cxd4 25.Rb1! Bd7 26.Bf3 b6 27.c5 Rc8 26.c6!
