Somehow that gamescore around move 28 doesn't seem right, at least to me.

Rd. 4 - Wrong Score?

Hi Tom:

Me too. Here is the move 28 and 29 according to the official website pgn:

[Event "Barcelona Casino Masters"]

[Round "4"]
[White "Hansen, Eric"]
[Black "Shankland, Sam"]
[Result "1-0"]

....28. Qa3 $2 $11 {Eric has lost his advantage} (28. Rd1 Nc3 29.
Rdc1 d4 $16) 28... Nd4 $2 $18 {Blunder or an unsound sac? Loses the B. Eric
gets back a "winning" advantage} (28... d4 29. Bd2 d3 $11) 29. Qb3 $4 $19 {
Chess blindness? (or is the score in error?) Eric just gives away his Q and
falls into mate??} (29. Bxd4 Rc6 30. a5 Qc8 $18 {9.60}) 29... Ne2 $4 $16 {Sam
misses winning the Q? Eric gets back a "clear" advantage?} (29... Nxb3 30. Kg1
d4 $19 {mate in 23 moves}) ...... 1-0

This can't possibly have happened.

Does someone have a corrected score?

Has anyone found a score for the game, different from the above? The moves given seem impossible to have happened at this level. There must be an error.
