'''Pawns Breakthrough''',<br/>
a chess tactics to establish an advanced and likely [[Unstoppable Passer|unstoppable]] [[Passed Pawn|passed pawn]] by means of a [[Sacrifice|sacrificial]] [[Combination|combination]]. In its most notable form a pawns breakthrough appears with opposing [[Duo Trio Quart (Bitboards)|trios]] one rank apart already advanced on the other side of the board, for instance the white trio a5-c5 versus the black a7-c7. The combination starts with pushing the middle pawn which is now [[Pawn Rams (Bitboards)|rammed]] with two [[Pawn Levers (Bitboards)|levers]]. Black has two options to capture, and instead of a recapture finally yielding in an isolated ram, white sacrifices this pawn, and even offers a second one by pushing the [[Unfree Pawns (Bitboards)|closed pawn]] into a rammed lever.
