    27) RxQf2 should win for white.  Black is down a whole queen.

    And I don't see any forced mate on the back rank?

    If 27) ...Rd1+, then 28) Rf2, Rad8 and 29) R3d1.

    Perhaps I'm mistaken, but don't think so.

    You are correct. It was more of a bluff than anything else, especially since it was a blitz game.
