By sacrificing a pawn, White makes certain that his king will have a route into Black's position. Together with the fact that Black's bishop is now very "bad", this is quite enouth to seal Black's fate. Instead 47.gxh4 would leave White with no real winning prospects.

The idea is to force an exchange of one pair of Rooks after 1...bxa4 2.Rxa4. This in turn, will give White permanent control over the f5-square. Anand points out that neither 1.Bf5 Rf8 2.Be6+ Kh8 nor 1.g3 Rf6 2.Bf5 Raf8 gives White much.
