26...Rxd8, makes the game difficult for white, methinks...

 But then wouldn't 27. Qxa7 cause black some conniptions ?

27...Qxh1+, takes white's black-squared bishop out of play.

 Ahh yes, good point!

BUT for my second effort I give you ... 27. Ne7# !!

EDIT: I cheated and used the analysis board this time

That solves that problem!

Yes.  Black can not take with his rook on move 26 because of the mate in one.  I should have added that as a variation.

nice game...reddit

black had the upper hand he just didnt see it!if he ate your castle with his castle instead of the king he could have landed with that castle and mated white.

black can not take whites rook with his rook on move 26. Ne7 is mate if he does.
