Well you sure have made a commitment here

I must make some calculations

 

[Lucky]

Huh, what, where, when, how???????

I surely missed something, didn´t I?!

 

[Smash]

Well yes.After 16..b5 your knight has nowhere to go so you are committed to the knight for pawns exchange.I will not play b5 as I don't wish to trade off queens yet.
