Kasparov idea – h6 with positional domination

Chess games analysis: 

Just played a blitz game on ICC with a positional idea by kasparov. I managed to misplay the opening, but later on the game had an interesting turn.

23.h6!? Right idea but more precise was Be5, followed by f4 and h6, as Black could now have played 23…Bd6
