White missed 16. Nd5! with a double attack on the Black queen and c7 pawn. Then 16. ... Bxd5 17. exd5 drops the knight and gives white a winning attack. Black's only hope is 16. ... Rxb7 17. Nxf6+ gxf6 when White's lack of development and Black's power on the b-file make the game complicated. White would have to play precisely, but he should be able to eventually consolidate to a winning advantage.
Double sacrifice

Hi, everybody. I'm somewhat new in chess. i'm studying for not so long. This game I had was a 15 minutes game Live Chess. I went from a troubling opening (I don't know that one, so I followed my instincts) and made myself a few mistakes. Also I was in certain time pressure. I was waiting for my students (not chess students) to come. Every second I was thinking on the game and the students.
So, I tried to create a opening in my stile and miscalculate a bishop safety. My opponent took advantage and I had to sacrifice it. Also I sliped my king to its previews position, pinning it to the knight (!!????) and create a open file. I saw that open file and thought: my opponent should grab the free pawn and I'll be with a open file and more developed pieces.
Later, a rook sacrifice just to open even more the white's position. Removed the defender of D4 square and my queen landed there.
What you guys think about it? I surely know that with correct defenses and without that queen rush white's gave me, I would be in troubles for sure.
