10.Qc1!
1. White covers his e3-bishop so that his structure remains intact if Black goes after it with ...Ng4 and ...Nxe3.2. White can exchange the powerful g7-bishop with the Bh6 move for the right moment. 3. White clears d1 for a coming Rd1, which pressures d5.
10.Nc2
This move deprives white to transfer his knight to b5-outpost.
10.Bf4? Qa5! and the c5-pawn is in danger and The bishop will be forced to retreat to e3.

📘 17...Nh5
Kramnik threatens to plant his knight on g3 (which picks off the exchange) or f4 (which accelerates all kinds of attacking possibilities). From this point until the moment White resigns, every single Black move contains some kind of threat.
17...Bb5 This move is a waste of time because of 18.a4.
17...Bc5? This move not only exchanges the mighty black Bishop but also puts the e5-pawn in jeopardy: 18.Bxc5 dxc5 19.Nc4.
