His Finest Endgame: How Capablanca Beat Nimzowitsch on Two Wings

The opposite colored bishop ending is surprisingly won.
White's decisive mistake seems 21 g4?. He had to play 21 c4 putting his pawn on a light square, opposite to his bishop.
This leads to the conclusion that 19...Nxd2? was a mistake too, he had to play 19...Nd6 keeping knights. Nd6 is more active than Nd2.
That leads to the conclusion that 17 Bd4? was a mistake too, he had to take the pawn 17 Bxc7.
