The whole strength of the plan with ...e5 and ...f5 is that White's dark-squared bishop is short of squares and vulnerable to ...f4. If White plays c5, then her bishop gains squares, and all I might have to show for my plan is a draughty king:
29...bxc5 30.Nb3 c4 31.Nc5! Nxc5 32.Rxc4

🔹 Anatoly Karpov
🔹 Russian chess grandmaster and former World Champion
🔰 Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov is a Russian chess grandmaster and former World Champion. He was the official world champion from 1975 to 1985 when he was defeated by Garry Kasparov.
🔘 Full name: Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov
🔘 Country: Soviet Union Russia
🔘 Born: May 23, 1951 (age 67)
Zlatoust, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union
🔘 Title: Grandmaster (1970)
🔘 World Champion: 1975–1985 & 1993–1999 (FIDE)
🔘 FIDE rating: 2623 (July 2018)
🔘 Peak rating: 2780 (July 1994)
🔰 Anatoly Karpov is a Russian chess grandmaster who was the official world champion from 1975 to 1985 before being defeated by Garry Kasparov. He once again became the FIDE World Champion after Kasparov broke away from FIDE in 1993. Years later he resigned his title in protest against FIDE's new world championship rules. An exceptionally skilled player, he is counted amongst the greatest players of all time. Karpov began displaying his skills at the game at a young age—he started playing chess from the time he was four. Recognizing his talent, his parents arranged for his rigorous training in the game which ensured that he blossomed into a formidable player quite early on in life. Accepted into Mikhail Botvinnik's prestigious chess school, he went on to become the youngest Soviet National Master in history, at the age of 15. He developed his game quickly to become a grandmaster at the age of 19. He proceeded to win a series of international tournaments becoming the official world champion in 1975. He defeated Viktor Korchnoi, another Russian grandmaster, to retain his title in 1978 and 1981. His string of successes and reputation as the world champion not only earned him much international acclaim but also made him a millionaire. His reign as the world champion came to an end when he was defeated by Garry Kasparov in 1985.

7.g4!?
An interesting move that for the first time, was played by Movsesian against Ponomariov in 2013.
White's idea is to threaten g4-g5 and also to fianchetto his light-squared bishop on g2.
