📕 20...f5 may seem ok to you, but fails to the intermediate move h6:
21.h6! Qh8 22.ef5 gf5 23.Qe3! fg4 24.Qg5+ Kf7 25.Qe7+ and Qxc7+-
20...Bxg4?! unnecessarily gives up two bishops.
Considering the dynamic factors, 20...gxh5! is the correct move. After 21.Ne3 Bg4 or 21.Nxf6+ Kh8 black is ok.

📕 18.h4! is an excellent multi-purpose move that increases white's advantage.
By playing h4, white pushes his passed pawn, defends Bg5, and prepares to play 19.Rh3 to activare the rook and to defend c3 to free the e2 knight.
18.Nf4? was weak in view of 18...Nxd4!

📕20.Ba3? is clearly weak in view of 20...Nb5!
20.e5 grabs some space on the kingside, but this move gives the black knight a nice central square on d5 and immobilizes white's mobile pawn center.
20.Bc1! is a strong move that increases white's advantage by activating the bishop by Bf4 or Bg5.

📕 After 1.f4 black can draw by a queen sacrifice!
21.f4? Qxg3+ 22.hxg3 Rxg3 23.Kh1 (23.Kh2 Ng4) 23...Rh3+=
21.Nxf5?? is too optimistic and black can start a winning attack by 21...Rf8. After Rf8 white has a hanging knight and three undeveloped pieces, while black is launching a decisive attack by all forces.
21.Ra2! to develop a piece and defend the kingside, along with a few more exact moves gave Kramnik the upper hand.
