This next example is from round 9 of the Biel super-GM tournament and illustrates the second C (captures) part of the thinking process. See what happens on move 30, when White (Etienne Bacrot) fails to consider all possible captures by Black. The Re1 is protected, so evidently GM Bacrot did not bother to calculate its possible capture. White's multiple hanging pieces, however, means that this was an immediately losing oversight.

The importance of CCT: example #2 - Biel round 9
The previous example featuring a calculation error that could have been avoided using CCT (Checks, Captures and Threats) showed how considering all checks - in that particular case, just one check was possible on the board - could have won the game.
