Pawn storm

Apparently sometimes Black should play g4 without first playing h5:
Yes one should forge the iron when it is hot.
Point is that on 15...g4 white cannot close with 16 h4 because of 16...g3. After the preparatory 15...h5 white can block the diagonal of Ba7 with 16 Be3, so as to answer a later ...g4 with h4.
