16...Bd8

[2.66 Fritz 5.00: 16...Qd7 17.Bxf7 (17.Rh2 Ne6 is still better for White, but not so incisive. 17...Qxh3 18.Bxg8 Qh1+ 19.Nf1 Qxf3 20.Qf7+ Kh8 21.hxg6 hxg6]

17.h6+

[1.06 Fritz 5.00: 17.Bxf7 is the same idea but a better move order 17...c4 18.Qxc4 Qxc4 19.Bxc4 with two Pawns and the exchange coming up. Still, the text produced a pleasing result!]
