📘 19.Be4
For some reasons19.Qe3! was better:
1-Preventing black to play Bh6.
2-It protects the e5 pawn and threatens to play d5 At the right moment.
19.Be4 c5?!
(19...Bh6 20.Rb1 Bf8 was better)

17...Ra6!
A multi-purpose move: 1. Now that Black's rook is protected, it enables the ...b4 break. 2. Black's rook may later swing over to the kingside in order to assist his king. 3. Black's rook suppresses sixth rank pawn breakthroughs on e6 and g6 (but not f6, as Anand played in the game).
17...Be6 18.f4! dxe4 19.f5 White has the initiative.
17...dxe4? A positional mistake that gives white a strong mobile center.

10.Qc1!
1. White covers his e3-bishop so that his structure remains intact if Black goes after it with ...Ng4 and ...Nxe3.2. White can exchange the powerful g7-bishop with the Bh6 move for the right moment. 3. White clears d1 for a coming Rd1, which pressures d5.
10.Nc2
This move deprives white to transfer his knight to b5-outpost.
10.Bf4? Qa5! and the c5-pawn is in danger and The bishop will be forced to retreat to e3.

📘 16...g5!
Black is willing to sacrifice a Pawn to open up the g file for his pieces and attack on the white king.
