Johan You really think it was the book line? Were TK's evals not favoring White at this point? CM_SKR gives a score of 0.76 for White in this position: [D]r2qr1k1/5pb1/2p1b1p1/p1Bnp2p/2B1N2P/5P2/PPPQ2P1/2KR3R w - h6 0 17 And in Sokolov v Ljubojevic, Sokolov won quickly here starting with 17.g4. So I'm not sure. Here's the whole game, for anybody interested.
