That is a good rook sacrifice.

I would note that the simple 16...Qa3# is checkmate.

I love a good sacrifice.

DOH! I should delete comment but mistakes are part of chess.

I think I still agree with the Rook sac.

 he doesnt have d2 (which is probably what you meant) cos of the knight on e4. It isn't mate because of Bb2 but then Qxb2# is mate

good question 16. ... Qxc3 was not the best move (computer said d5 was),  buts as for 17. Qd3 appears to be a solid move and was the move i thought he would make, but white king is still under attack and black can easily take the a or g pawn. I think Black would still by in a better position. but please share anything you come up with.
