📕 Here we are concerned with identifying weaknesses. White has only one weakness – the b2-pawn – while Black suffers from having some rather weak pawns and one weak square: a6, c6, and d5. The defender of all these squares is the knight on b4 which, consequently, keeps Black's position intact. Therefore Short came up with a brilliant idea.
18.Na2!
Simply eliminating the prime defender. After this Black is in trouble. The knight on e4 is not as well placed as the one on b4, despite its appearance.
18...c5
Karpov tries an active defence, but Black cannot save this position even with perfect play.
