'''6.... d5'''

Black makes an excellent defensive move.
⏎
Never forget that m Moving the king isn't the only way to get out of check!

Admittedly, Black's d-pawn is a dead duck.
It is attacked by White's bishop, queen, and pawn, three times altogether, while it is defended only once, by Black's queen.
The sacrifice is worthwhile, though, to open up lines for the queen and bishop so they can help with the defense.
Now if White fails to find the best continuation, Black has some chance to counter-attack.
