Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Black activates his Queen, and dares White to play c5, when Kamsky can foresee counterplay--e.g. 37. c5 bxc5 38. bxc5 Qd4 when his Knight can obtain active play on either d5, e4, or d7 depending on what plan White chooses. If White plays 39. Qxd4, then Black's d-pawn will compensate for White's c-pawn.
