A nice temporary pawn sac to ensure that White will be able to use the weakened c5 square for his pieces, rather than having to advance a pawn there. 24...Bxa6 25.Ba5 Rd7 26.cxb5 Nb3+/-

A great decision. Karpov with a pawn sacrifice tries to exploit the weakness of light squares in the black camp. 18.Qxa7 Qc6 19.Qa3 Rc8 and White is completely tied up.
