📘 31.Kd6?
In this position, the vital e5-square is very important. If the white king can penetrate to e5-square, he wins the game. Black could save himself by playing:
(31...h6! 32.h4 Ke7 33.g5 Kf7! 34.g×h6 Kg8! =)
32.g5 +-

📘 33.h4?
White could have won the game by putting black in zugzwang:
(33.Kf3! Kf7 34.g×f6! K×f6 35.Ke4 h6 36.h3! h5 37.h4 Kf7 38.Ke5 Ke7 39.f5 +-)
33...Kf7 34.f5
Now, The planning of Kf3 and then exchanging on f6 doesn't work, since White no longer has a reserved tempo of the pawn on the h-file. for example:
(34.Kf3 Kg6 35.g×f6 K×f6 36.Ke4 h5 =)
34...Ke7 (e5!=an easy draw)
35.Kf4 Kf7?? (35...e5=)

Experienced player Nigel Short fell into Andriasian's trap. Zaven became Armenia champion in 2016.

The only way to lose the game. everywhere except the second-rank!
54...Qe8! 55.Qd6 Qe2+ 56.Kg3 d1=Q 0-1

📕 19...Bb4!
Nimzowitsch exchanges his bad bishop for opponent's good one. After getting rid of White's dark-squared bishop, he can exploit the outpost square on e3 by his rook.
19...Re3 This exchange sacrifice maybe gives black some compensation but Black doesn't need to do that.
19...Qxb2? allows 20.Rb1 Qxa2 21.Ra1 Qb2 22.Rb1 leading to draw by repetition.

📕 28...Nd8!
the knight heads for f7, after which moving the bishop from d6 will clear the way for ...Nd6 and ...Ne4. It also opens the path of the Queen to attack the weak e3-pawn.
