I agree.. I didn't like 21... g6, but also 17... e4 gave white a handy target,
and it ended up costing black the a pawn to avoid losing this pawn.  When
watching the game, I decided that maybe black was concerned with the white
knight plonking down on f5, maybe...  And g6 prevented that, but opened another
can of worms...
