{ White has already won a piece due to a strong attack, but the legendary GM
Zapata puts a clinical end to the game. }
27. Re5! { Not a difficult move to
play, but this is actually not just an ordinary trade. } 27... Qd8 (27... Rxe5 28. Nh6+! Kh8 29. Nxf7+ Rxf7 30. Rxf7 { was a nice spot by Zapata, as Black
cannot deal with the back rank issues, the mate threat on g5, as well as the
hanging rook on e5. } 30... Rg5 (30... Rf5 31. Qxg7#) 31. Rf8#) 28. Rxg5 Qxg5 29. Nf6+! { The cleanest way to win even more material. } 29... gxf6 30. Rg4 h6 31. Rxg5+ hxg5 32. Qc7 { 1-0 White wins. } 1-0
