Aleksandra Goulakova vs Josh Phillips


Josh was not playing well and had already given his opponent 2 pieces. But his opponent comes up with a good move here to prove worthy of the win. White's turn. What's the best move?
Trading queens via Bxd8 would be great for White since she is ahead. (Trade when you are ahead; avoid trades when behind.) But Aleksandra comes up with 15. Qxd7!!! Qxd7 16. Nf6+!! and she comes away with both the queen and the bishop!
