19.Bc4?? R×d2!
Removing the defender!

43...B×g5??
A miscalculation. Now, White can obtain a draw by using an intermediate move.
43....Bd4! was correct and after 44.Nf3 f×e3 -+ Antipov would be helpless.
44.N×f3 f×e3 45.N×g5 e2+ 46.Ke1 Rd4 47.Ne6! f×e6 48.d×e6 Kf6 49.K×e2 =

30. Rxd4?
White could have gained an advantage with the following continuation.
30. f4! Qxd5 31. Kf2 h6 32. Nf3 Rc7 33. Nxd4 exd4 34. Qxd4+ Qxd4+ 35. Rxd4 +/-

This interesting move leads to a theoretical draw.

9.b4!
White intends to prevent Black from playing ...c5. Next move, he wants to set up an anti-King's Indian bayonet attack with c4, then maybe c5, and Nc4, trying to demonstrate that he can find new ideas with Nd2, rather than Nc3. In the standard bayonet attack after Nc3, White often tries Nd2 with his other knight, and then Nc4 after c5. It's just something different.
9...c6?!
This seems to help White's plan. A more critical line is 9...Nh5 10.c4 f5, maybe equal.
10.c4 cxd5 11.cxd5.

17.Be5
An interesting move to remove the defender of important light-squares such as e4, and also deflect the black bishop from the control of b4-square.
17...h6 18.Bxf6 Bxf6 19.b4?!
This was White's idea, setting up pawn pressure on the queenside, but White is soon over-committed. 19.Qe4 Qc7 is equal, or, contains the slightest of a minimal edge for White.
