Missed Tactic from Mayer-Prong 3/2/06


This is a position from Mayer-Prong at BND Cafe on 3-2-06. White missed an opportunity to win material here. What should white have played?

Is it Nxd4?

Yes, the line should be something like 16. Nxd4 Rdf8 17. Nf3. And now white is up a pawn and black's queenside pawns are a shambles. I think white will plan to castle queenside very soon to get the king out of the center and should have a very nice game.
