Why are people voting 26...h3?

27.Rxd5 hxg2 28.Kxg2 leaves us two pawns down with no compensation.

Just to repeat my analysis for those who haven't read it:

26... Qd6
27.Rh5 (what else?)
27... hxg3
28.Qh3 (if 28.hxg3 Nxg3! 29.Qxg3 Qxg3 30.fxg3 Rxf1 31.Kxf1 Rxe3 is equal)
28... gxf2+ (28...gxh2+ may also work, we will have to decide at that time)
29.Kh1 (29.Kg2 Rg6+ 30.Kh1 f6 31.Rh8+ Kf7 32.Rxe8 Qd5!; 29.Bxf2 Rg6+ 30.Bg3 Qxd4+; 29.Rxf2 Rg6+ 30.Rg2 Rxg2+ 31.Kxg2 Qg6+)
29... Kf8
30.Rh8+ (what else?)
30... Ke7
31.Rxe8 Kxe8
32.Qc8+ Qd8
33.Qxb7 Re6
34.d5 (34.Qxa7 Qd5; 34.Rc1 Kf8; 34.Bxf2 Nxf2 35.Rxf2 Re1+ 36.Kg2 Qg5+)
34... Re7 (or maybe 34...Re5)
35.Qc6+ Kf8

and black is fine here.

27. Re5 Rxe5 28. dxe5 Qxe5 29. Bxa7 seems clear!
(29...b6 30. Re1; knight moves with the idea of ...Nf3 can
be answered by 30.f4). I don't see any compensation any
more! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

26... Qd6
27.Re5?! Rxe5
28.dxe5 Qxe5
29.Bxa7 and now ...Nd2 ...Ra6 ... hxg3 all have black quite comfortable. For instance

29.Bxa7 Nd2
30 Rd1 Nf3+ and Black has all the chances

Why because they are on crack?
h3 & resign should not be a choice, however if h3 wins we can put resigns on the next poll!
Qd7 should have been an option before either of those.....
