I see that NM Green Lasker also went along the same lines. Ah well, I did all that looking and found the wrongs moves. They were difficult wrong moves to find though :)

Actually, I was thinking of 24... Rc8, but after 25 Bf3+ Rc6 26 Qd8+ and 27 Qxd7+ White will win the rook anyway. Looks like the wins fall from the trees in this position (and maybe White would even have the time just to play a rook to a3).
