Hat Trick

IN the second game of today's double-rounder in Malta I scored my third win on the trot, increasing my score to +4=2-1.
Black has just played 25...h6-h5? in Spanton (1940) - Kevin Goater (2102)

Black's last move missed a tactic, but my main analysis engines, Stockfish9 and Komodo9, reckon White has the upper hand anyway.
26.Bxc5! Qe7
Stockfish9's choice; Komodo9 narrowly prefers 26...dxc5.
27.Be3 h4 28.c5
Black's kingside attack is too slow, and I duly converted my advantage into a win.
