In these studies, finding the clearly wrong move, the earlier in the score
the better. Http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1011478.  So back
at '21 Rhe1 d4' is the wrong response in the first place. Instead 21 Rhe1 dxe4 solves the position.  It capitalizes on Black's having Pawn development by eliminating White's tiny Pawn development.   The d4-square is guarded by three Black pieces and White will have to move his f-Pawn tearing further into the fabric.  

Actually made impulsive 21 ...d4 is too attacking when Black-Topolov has defense problems solved by 21 ...dxe4.  With this correction now, advanced  White Queen and Knight are become loose cannons.  Not to mention loose cannon White light Bishop since every possible Black piece and King are already untouchably on dark square!  After this revised Move 21, Black can carefully take it into White's mixed-over-all unplanned position.  No immortal game in the offing, or scare tactics. Black stands better.
