TWO KNIGHTS DEFENCE

A couple of years ago I watched Alexandra Kosteniuk give a lecture on this game. She may have actually played the game earlier in the day as a matter of fact.  


At one stage in the lecture she said, "Why did I play this opening? I will never ever play this again!"


It must have been a very nerve wrecking experience! lol Rybka analysis gives it a training question at move 28 for white?


Here is the game below.
