📕 12...c4!
Black needs to act quickly in view of the temporary nature of the weakness. Given the opportunity, White's next move would have been 13 c4!, keeping the queenside pawn structure intact. This would be followed by b2-b3 (after moving the rook away from the long diagonal), leaving the rest if the battle to be carried out on the kingside.

📕 16...b3!
This is the key idea. Black jumps at the opportunity to establish a strong knight on e4 and open b-file simultaneously – and free of charge! If you did not find this move, you did not fully solve the exercise.
