T-Stike: an application in the middlegame

The position below is was reached in game 5, after white's fifteenth move. It is also discussed in the rules. You can see what actually happened (also a T-strike of sorts!) through either link. Here we take a look at how black could have won a man by two successive T-strikes, the first one 'covered', but the second one not.
In the actual game, black also won a man, thus balancing material. The game ended in a draw.
