15...Qc6 to get out of that pin 16.Rxc7 Qxc7 17.Nd5.

Black played 15...e6 to stop Nd5 but White played it anyway.

The Sad Tale of the a8 and h8 Rooks.

Here (White to play)

White played 20.d6 Good, that wins the pinned piece due to the loose Rook on a8. 20....Qxd6 21.Rxc7.

20.Qf6 also looks good, that one hits the pinned piece and is also based on a loose Rook. This time on h8.

Sit on hands and can we mix the two ideas.

20. Qc3 threatening Qxg7+ and Qxc5+ (winning the c7 Knight. I cannot answer to 20.Qc3....resigns)?
