Giri tactically exploits the weaknesses in his opponent's kingside.

22.f4!
Black has no good reply to this move. He must open the f-file or allow 22...g4 23 Ra7.
22...exf3
Now Black's knight has to retreat into abject defence on e7 to defend his f-pawn, but 22...gxf4 23.Nxf4 Nxf4 24.Rxf4 loses Black's f-pawn immediately, and 22...g4 23.Ra7, leaves his game a positional wreck and without counterplay.
23.Rxf3 (23.Nxf3!) 23...Ne7 24.Nc6 Rbe8 25.Ned4+-.

14...Ra5!
White must, of course, have seen this move, but what did he miss? The black rook's bold entrance into play on the queenside forces White's reply. Or if White's knight on b5 retreats, Black's knight simply captures White's d-pawn.
15.Nxc6+ bxc6 16.Nc3 Ke7!
