[d]rn2k1r1/p4ppp/1pp1p3/8/P1NP2Q1/2B3P1/1P6/R3KB1q w Qq - 0 16
This is Amateur-Djinn, from ICC today.
16. O-O-O! Nd7 (16... Qd5 17. Bb4 h5 18. Qh4 +-) 17. d5! cxd5 18. Bh3 Qxd1+ 19.
Qxd1! dxc4 20. Qd6 {game over}
Djinn didn't play 18...Qxd1 in the game, but then we wouldn't have the
opportunity to look at 19.Qxd1. And if 16.O-O-O is too hard, then try 17.d5 and
19.Qxd1.
Here's the position from 17.d5, Amateur, on a p4 2.8ghz:
[d]r3k1r1/p2n1ppp/1pp1p3/8/P1NP2Q1/2B3P1/1P6/2KR1B1q w q - 0 17
12 111 5543 19661523 d5 cxd5 Bh3 Qh2 Nd6 Ke7
13 109 7269 25641213 d5 cxd5 Bh3 Qh2 Nd6 Ke7 Nxf7 Nc5 Bb4 Re8 Ng5 Kd7 Rxd5 Kc6
Nf3 Qh1 Rd1
14 200 19349 67027183 d5 cxd5 Bh3 Qxd1 Qxd1 dxc4 Qd6 Rd8
Note: the move 19.Qxd1 (not Kxd1) is critical in the above line.
