After this mistake, Wenjun will soon find herself in a losing position. She could have continued with solid 26...Rg7.

With this position, we have gone from the technical to the more complex. It is, of course, Alexei Shirov who has created this mess with the white pieces. White is threatening to attack the enemy king, simultaneously trying to keep the queenside closed from a possible invasion. But Black has a simple move that helps on both sides of the board. Apparently, this is not too easy to find, but should still appear quite obvious once it is seen...
25...Qf8! Black protects the weak dark squares around the king and puts pressure on a3. The situation is highly unclear.
26.a4 Around here White might possibly have a better way to play, but this in no way alters the correctness of Black's treatment.
26...Na3! 27.Bxa3 (27.h5 Bc2! is good for Black).
27...Bxa3 28.Rg3!? h5-/+

This move is apparently hard to find for some people. Such 'small' moves are easy to overlook because we feel the need to be more aggressive. White has a clear plus.
