17.b4!
One idea behind playing b4 is that moves like ...c5 can be met with bxc5, followed by d5, creating a passed d-pawn.
17.dxe5
We should keep tension in the center. Masters handle the pawn tension better than the amateurs, knowing how to keep the pawns on the board longer when to block them and at what moment to get rid of them. Releasing the tension too soon may create problems and here release black bishop on f8.

19...Rb5
Aronian defends e5 tactically while increasing pressure on a5.
19...Nd7
The direct defence is also possible but lets white to complete his development with 20.Be3.
19...b3? and white achieves control over the important d4-square after 20.c3.

10.g4!
Now, this move is routine, whereas at the time it was a startlingly new plan for White, who attacks with a kingside pawn storm. His once out-of-play rook now looks well posted on h1. He also intends to drive away Black's Knight on f6, prepares for the e4 move.
The moves10.g3 and10.Bd2 are too slow for this position.
