a chess tactics to establish an advanced and likely unstoppable passed pawn by means of a sacrificial combination. In its most notable form a pawns breakthrough appears with opposing 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 rammed with two 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 closed pawn into a rammed lever.
