13.c5!?
A standard Benoni motif; the pawn advance frees c4 for White's pieces and also enhances the strength of the future b4-b5 push.

A Karpovian retreat. No other player has ever been more skilled at using the back rank to increase the energy of his pieces than the 12th World Champion. The knight is well placed on c6, but there is an even better square waiting for it on c5 – and so the knight spends three moves getting there. Karpov is king of the short maneuver. 12.Nd5 Nxd5 13.exd5 Bf5.

Jan Gustafsson: "I think he [Bluebaum] is still more susceptible to Levon Aronian magic over the board. It's tough to have Dr. Levon there with his 2800 blitzing all the moves and you're thinking 'Oh my God, I ran into centuries of Armenian homework...'" https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/grenke-chess-classic-2018/9/1/2 …
