@SucheSchachfreund Yes it is quite hard to wrap around the tactical sequence because there are many tactics at play:
1.) Before the tactic even started, the bishop was x-raying the d4 square (blocked by the knight), which is a square to consider for a future plan or tactic whenever possible since it lines the bishop up with the King on the same diagonal.
2.) 14...Ng4 forks the queen and bishop.
3.) 15...Nxe3 forks the two Rooks, making it rather imperative to take the knight.
4.) 16...Bd4 pins the Queen to the King, making use of the d4 square which was earlier mentioned to be x-rayed by the Bishop.
At first, it is a little difficult to understand, but tactics with similar concepts to the above-mentioned could appear in one of your future games, so it's always good to recognize these and similar patterns :D
