  FSR: The wussy 14...Qd8 led to a draw after 15.Nxf7 Qc7 and now 16.Nh6+ Kh8 17.Nf7+ Kg8 18.Nh6+ Kh8 19.Nf7+ Kg8 1/2-1/2 Vorobiov-Kaasen, 28th Chigorin Memorial, St. Petersburg 2021 or 16.Ng5+ Kh8 17.Nf7+ Kg8 18.Ng5+ Kh8 19.Nf7+ Kg8 1/2-1/2 Koneru-Girya, Speed Chess (Women) GP4, chess.com 2020. 16.Nd6+ and 16.Nd8+ work equally well. Benjamin Bok in his Chessable course on the Nimzo-Indian/Queen's Indian observes that the "materialistic 16.Nd6+ Kh8 17.Nxe8 Rxe8∓ brings White nothing but a serious crisis on the central pawns and light squares."

In the game continuation, 17...Ba6 was seen in Bluebaum vs Karjakin, 2019 (0-1, 142!). Bok criticizes the move, explaining "We should not try to regain some of the material with 17...Ba6, as the light-squared bishop is a crucial piece in our initiative against the white king."
