37.Nc4?
As a result of this inaccuracy, White has lost his advantage. Better is 37.Qc4 Qd7 38.Nf3 +/-.
Now, Black gets counterplay.

📘 30...Rc5!!
A wonderful move, with a particular focus on ideal squares. Black's light-squared bishop looks good but, in reality, it is not doing much. The rook on c1 also looked okay but was working alone. The other bishop should probably be on g7 but, again, nothing is clear. What is obvious is that White will be able to attack both f7 and a5, and Black will at best make a draw in the normal course of the game. But after the text move, everything changes. The rook will find a wonderful outpost on f5, where it defends f7 and attacks the f-pawn. The bishop will suddenly be able to attack the king from e5 and the rook on e8 is free to do whatever. White continued logically.
31.Rd7 Bxf3 32.Qxf3 Rf5 Black offered a draw as it suited his position in the match.

With his latest move, 18 b4, White is trying to establish a strong blockade on d4. Black, naturally, will not sit back and let this happen, and he forces White to occupy the square with his own pawn!
