The blunder that helped the American born from Indian Parents to become the youngest GM in History, White should have played Kd5!, but blundered and played Ke5?

Even if he is American by birth, India is Celebrating because he is descendant of Indian Parents

White could win by b4 but I think Kd5 or Ke5 are draw.
The losing mistake of white is after Ke5 Nf3+ when gxf3 is bad.

You are correct Uri, the only winning move is b4! because it keeps the Knight out of the game guarding the advancement of the b pawn, and the Knight can NOT afford to take the e pawn after moving to c4 or it will lose the game

This is how he started to advance in chess from placing the pieces on the board at the young age of 2.5 years old

I might be wrong, but I strongly believe that after three of the most talented young chess prodigies from India( GM Praggnanandhaa,
GM Nihal Sarin, and GM Gukesh D failed to break GM Karjakin record, the opportunity came from the American born, but India descendant or parents, and to me it seems obvious that a GM like Leon would not have missed a simple winning opportunity like moving the pawn to b4, but instead he chose to placed his King in e5 allowing the Knight sacrifice which will ensure a pawn promotion and the victory of the American born but from India parents will break the record of GM Karjakin, and could not waste this great opportunity.
