Theory/Sacrifice to Clear the Pawn's Path

Sacrifice to Clear the Pawn's Path

Your h-pawn wants to run, and the black knight on e6 stands close to its path. Give up your own knight to drag that knight away, then lead with your king. The rule: when the knight threatens checks, keep your king two squares from it on a diagonal, with one square in between, so the checks come as late as possible.
