And already Black was on the verge of winning.
Robin van Kampen-Viktor Polischuk
Germany Bundesliga 2015
How to increase the white advantage?
The most energetic way, although the preparatory 29.b3 was also good.
29…dxe5?
29…b3 30.axb3 Rb7 was a better attempt to instigate some counterplay, though after 31.Qd1 Rxb3 32.Rc7 White is clearly better.
30.f5!
Suddenly White has launched an attack on the black king. Soon he will obtain access via the light squares.

Pavel Ponkratov-Yuri Kryvoruchko
Berlin Wch rapid 2015

Targeting the c-pawn twice. The side with the queen has the usual problems defending loose pawns.
28.Qa6
28.Nd2 Rg4 29.g3 Bg5.
28…Rxc4 29.Qxa7 Rc2+ 30.Ke3?
Even for a rapid game, this is an extremely careless move; 30.Ke1.
