Hi,

The spectacular 15.Qd6 (??!) backfired in this game.

Here is the position:
List 5.12 vs. Shredder 8
rn1r2k1/ppq1nppp/2b1p3/P1P1P1B1/2p5/5N2/2P1BPPP/R2Q1RK1 w - - 0 15 a b c d e f g h 8 8 7 7 6 6 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 2 1 1 a b c d e f g h generated with GenDiag 1.8 (C) 2002 by Andreas Herrmann
 List played 15.Qd6!?

On the first look this move is interesting, white gets a rook and bishop for the queen but black can easiely block the free d-pawn after the exchange and push the queenside pawns.
Best,
Alex

After the colourful sacrifice, a White bishop will remain stupidly placed at e7 for ages- this is the main reason why 15.Qd6 isn't to be praised.
