South has made single indirect capture in pit c, taking the 5 point gem he dropped in pit a, to reduce north' tempo. North has two captures available: the indirect one with pit e is corrupt. He takes the direct one because vacating pit d adds to his tempo.
16D0 Of course south tries to disrupt north' tempo: escaping the threat of indirect capture by moving pit A, will overload pit B.
c00 North allows the capture for tempo reasons.
