Simply defending b2, but it is defence with considerable poison in it, as after 18...axb2 19 Qxb2 Black's initiative is ebbing and he has problems with the hanging knight and the weak b5-pawn. Like so many opponents who fell under Karpov's spell, Savon has been provoked into an attack which his position doesn't have enough resources to maintain.
