According to Botvinnik, black is planning to take on f4 and after white plays gxf4 to cover e5, black can exhchange bishops by Bh3 to weaken e4; therefor, playing Nc8 is not just to defend c7 from the 7th rank, but to clear the e file to attack e4.

📘In an almost losing position Svidler eased white's task by playing 45...Rxa2? 46.c5! +-
He should have tried the tricky move 45...Nh7 and now if white tries 46.c5? black plays
46...Nf6 47.Re5+ Kd8 48.Kd3 Rxa2
so that the black king is not cut from the d file anymore.

📘 34...Bd4?
Nisipeanu made use of the Ukrainian IM's blunder.
35.Bd3! An important intermediate move
(If 35.Bg6 Ne5! and the c4 rook is defended)
35...Ra4 36.Bg6! +- Ne5 (Be5 37.f4+-) 37.Re4 N×g6 38.h×g6 1-0
