Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Just as we mention the word "outpost", Karpov takes the best one (at e5) away from White's pieces.

The text may also foreshadow a general pawn advance on the kingside. Black has two bishops, and he needs to open more lines for them.

That's really the key - each side MUST strive to reach positions that play to the strengths of their remaining pieces. (1:13)
