Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-18-12  The Last Straw: 17...♔g8 18.♕xe6+ mates.
All other legal 17th moves for black (including the game continuation) drop his ♕. If black moved his ♕ instead of taking the ♘ at move 16, he would have lost the exchange (♘ for ♖+♙). Thus, 15...♘5f6?? was a blunder.
Nov-18-12  The Last Straw: I personally would have played 15...0-0 and attempt to fianchetto my dark-squared ♗ in the future.
