17.h4 doesn't save the game because of the forced line
17.h4 Bh3 18.Re1 Bxg3 19.fxg3 Rxg3+ 20.Kf2 Rg2+ (Rxc3 is too greedy and loses
some pressure) 21.Qxg2 Bxg2 22.Kxg2 Rg8+ 23.Bg5 f6! 24.Re3 fxg -+
(a petite 16 ply combination)

22.Bg5 (blocking the g-file) also doesn't bring relief because of 22...Qh3!
which only makes things worse.

Weak evaluation of king safety is crucial in allowing the position before move
17.
