  fredthebear: Black uses tactics to climb out of his cramped position and deal with the White passer.

- Exchange to simplify, reducing minor piece defenders.

- Sham queen decoy sacrifice.

- Royal knight fork gains back material. Now centralized!

- The d-rook robs the pinned c-pawn because the c-rook is undefended.

  javanaut: I thought to take on d5 after Bxe3 fxe3. But after the Q moves, the knight has to go back.
