A miscalculation. Now, White can obtain a draw by using an intermediate move.
43....Bd4! was correct and after 44.Nf3 f×e3 -+ Antipov would be helpless.

9.b4!
White intends to prevent Black from playing ...c5. Next move, he wants to set up an anti-King's Indian bayonet attack with c4, then maybe c5, and Nc4, trying to demonstrate that he can find new ideas with Nd2, rather than Nc3. In the standard bayonet attack after Nc3, White often tries Nd2 with his other knight, and then Nc4 after c5. It's just something different.
9...c6?!
This seems to help White's plan. A more critical line is 9...Nh5 10.c4 f5, maybe equal.
10.c4 cxd5 11.cxd5.
