16. Nh4
Opens f3 and g3 for the Queen.
16.Nh4
I voted for it last move, so I wanted to vote for it again
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1190988.msg12782124#msg12782124Sadly it looks really bad for us now:
16.Nh4 Re6
17.Qg3 Rxe2
18.Rxe2 Bd3
and we will lose our knight on c3
16.Nh4 Re6
17.Qf3 Rxe2 (Qxe2 loses our knight and Nxe2 loses our rook)
18.Rxe2 Nd4
19.Qe3 Nxe2+
and we lose our bishop on b2 or our knight on c3
I don't think 16.Rc1 guarding the knight and allowing 17. Qf4 solves anything because after 16.Rc1 Raf8 we are in the same situation because f4 is still not safe. Maybe Qg5 is possible after Re6 but that looks like a dangerous square too. Black can attack us with h6 and our queen seems misplaced there.
This is a complex position! I am still trying to decide between Nd5 and Rdd1. The dumbest looking option of all (because of our last move) Rdd1 allowing our queen to retreat to d2 may actually be the safest.
As of right now I like 16.Nd5 the best but things get complicated after Re6

Yesterday I thought we were doing really well (unlike Peter Svidler we never wasted time with Rb1 and we were able to play b3 and Bb2 which I assume was his plan with Rb1 although he did not accomplish it:
https://chess24.com/en/embed-tournament/baku-world-cup-2015/7/1/3). We may still be doing fine but Rf6 has suddenly made this game extremely complicated. We need to be very careful.

No more hints as to future moves
I understand your logic but the problem is that it is hard to evaluate a plan one move at a time. After 16.Nd5 Re6 we actually have several options including one that does not involve moving our queen. Looking at this position is giving me a headache.
Perhaps we could only discuss multiple moves in advance in an effort to convince voters to reject a potentially bad move (like I tried to do to reject 16.Nh4 above) but not show all of our cards for plans we find promising.
