17...Rc7!
Here lies the logic behind Ivanchuk mysterious rook move. Black prepares his desired set-up without allowing his knight to be pinned against a rook or queen on d8.
17...c5 This advance opens long diagonal for the white bishop on g2.
17...Qb6? would lose a pawn after 18.Bxh6 Bxh6 19.Qxf6.

Ivanchuk with defending the a7-pawn releases his queen. Superb defending and prophylaxis by him, making it extremely tough for Epishin to find a way through, who soon loses focus slightly.
23...Bf5 24.Bxf5 Nxf5 25.gxf5 Rxf6 26.Ne5 White is clearly better.
23...fxg5? 24.Ne5 black cannot defend all of his weaknesses.
