When I analysed 20...Rd8 a bit, it seemed to me that white should exchange on d8
before playing e5: 19.Rxc6 Bxa5 20.Rcd6 Rd8 21.Rxd8+ Bxd8 22.e5

Maybe that's better - but complicated (I'm not sure, didn't analyse long
enough). I remember Fritz 7 wanted to reply Bc7, planning to exchange b7 for e5
indirectly...

Btw. the main reason why I "instinctively" chose Rxc6 as an example, is because
it is what I call an entertaining move (surprising and difficult enough, and
most probably correct), but I did not at all "dig into the truth of the
position". :o)
