  That's a nice tactic. Too bad you were on the wrong end of it. Why did you play 16...Kd8?

  isn't the e pawn free for you to take instead of that Kd8?

  no, if you look at the game, if I took that e pawn then knight would have been pinned.

  Not too difficult. Once I saw the bishop and knight in front of a rook I new it was going to be a discovered check. It is a good double check though.
