In the actual game i choose 24.h4 which is however -not the best move. The game ended in a draw after 25...Rfe8 26.Qb7 Reb8 27.Qe7 Re8 28.Qb7 ½–½
The best answer is :-

White to play

25.Ne2! This quiet move is unexpected. White retreat his knight to harass black queen and surprisingly black's queen is hasn't much square to live! 25...Qxf2 other move is not good for black for e.g :-

25...Qb4?? will lost the queen with 26.Nxe6+ Nxe6 27.Qxb4

25...Qf3 26.Nd4 Qf6 27.Qxf6+ Kxf6 28.f4 Nxd3 29.fxg5+ Kxg5 30.Nxd3 and black lost a piece;

25...Qf6 26.Qxf6+ Kxf6 27.f4 black lost a piece

25...Qd2 26.Nb3 black queen is trap

26.Rhf1 Rfe8 other move is not good enough for e.g :-

26...Qh2 27.Nf4 Nxd3 28.Nfxe6+ Nxe6 29.Nxe6+ Kg8 30.Rf6 Nxe1 31.Rxg6+ Kh7 32.Rxh6+ Kxh6 33.Qf6+ Kh7 34.Qg7# or

26...Qe3 27.Nf4!

27.Qd6

27...Nxd3 surprisingly moving the queen with 27...Qh2 to protect his e5 knight lost to 28.Nd4! Nef3 29.Ncxe6! Nxe6 30.Nxe6+ Rxe6 31.Rxe6 fxe6 32.Qe7+ and it's mate on 8! (maximum) 28.Rxf2 Nxf2 29.Nf4 and white has a large advantage which should enough be for a win.
