15. Ne4+ Ke7 16. Qxg7

Anything can happen then, but I guess 16...Kd7 would be the best move for black there. Then the idea is to try to get a queen/king fork/pin going with either the bishop or the knight.

Theres nothing guaranteed, but there are a lot of traps in the attack, and I would hope to come out at least even in material, with positional advantage.

According to Vukovic, there are a few pre conditions to the classic bishop sac.

Opponent can't decline the sac unscathed.
You have to have knight, light bishop and queen at the least. Black's knight can't get to f6.

In Ragnorak's game, Game 1514982, what happens if White had played 13. Qg4 instead of 13. h4 in that game?!
