Do you want:

• Prophylaxis (Karpov’s specialty)
• Pawn structure decisions (Carlsbad, Hedgehog, hanging pawns)
• Piece placement over material gain
• Transforming advantages (e.g., space → attack, knight outpost → infiltration)

Outcome: Black suffocates after 20 moves. Do you want:

Wrong plan: h4-h5 (attack king) → Karpov rejects this because Black can defend.

Karpov’s right plan:

1. Create a minority attack on the queenside (advance a2-a4-a5 to fix Black’s pawns).
2. Trade light-squared bishops (Bd3 – Bxg6? No – actually maneuver Bd3 to b1 and then Ba2, forcing exchange).
3. Put a knight on c5 (via Nb3-d2-c4-c5).
4. Eventually play d4-d5 opening the center once Black’s pieces are passive.
