So now the smoke has cleared and the white's sacrifice on move 15 resulted in losing the exchange. But with a piece behind it was worth trying. |

Black can try this because of white's weak first rank (the rook can not leave because of mate). |

This is not the right way to free the rook. As will be clear later, f3 or h3 (or h4) would have been better. |

And this does not help either. f4 was the lesser evil. |

But unfortunately white's rook still can not leave the first rank. |

The solution to the problem on move 12:
Black exchanges bishops first, then takes the pawn on d3 with the knight.
The queen can not take the knight because of Bh2 winning the queen. |
