Position after 16.Nb3

Sourabh Mhamane (1717) made a very nice positional knight sacrifice 16.Nb3. White does not get anything immediately after 16...Qxc6. However, there is certainly a long term advantage which he capitalized on against IM Vikramaditya Kulkarni (2279). 17.e4 N5f6 18.Rfd1 Qc7 19.c6 Nb6 20.d5 White built on his advantage and went on to win the game.
