Isn't this just a forced move?

 

If 19... Gxa6 then 20. Rxa4

If 19... Qxa6 then 20. Rxa6

If 19... Ka7/Ka8 then 20... Nxc7+

I mean if you're actually considering Qxa6 fair enough, maybe you're seeing something I haven't found yet after Gxa6. But we can't be regularly taking a week per move. If we get to 40 moves we'll still be here next winter. We've gotta pick the pace up at least a little.

These are intended as binding conditional moves btw, just for clarity.
