15.. b5 seems like a good move to me... maybe it's time to pull the chess board...

[Gate Troll]

Getting into unfamiliar territory are we? I'm surprised you didn't go with 15... e5 and threaten my Queen.

Boom! Sacrifice!

[Witchkingx5]

Unfimaliar? That was a book move! But yours definitely was not...

I can still do it now! 16... e5.

Just to say: your move doesn't deserve an exclamation mark: Even if you play it 100% corrctly, you only get a dead equal position. even 19. check (I won't say which piece you can use then, maybe you won't do it at all) doesn't give you a that big advantage. Your pawn structure is pretty much destroyed, and if you follow the right moves, I will have a very strong center in the end. But you'll reach at least equal material, then.

If 17. Bxd7, Bxd7 is my premove. If you wanna do that, you can already post your 18th move.

If 17. Bxd7, Bxd7 is my premove. If you wanna do that, you can already post your 18th move.

And so I have. Fire away, Witch King.
