18. e3 a4 19. Qd1 dxc5 {Smacks of impatience. However, white has clearly
neutralised black's hoped for light square initiative in any case, and the
bishop pair and space advantage offers excellent long term prospects. am
reminded of the discussion ( inspired by John Watson ) from my previous column
on 'Combatting the Bishop Pair' in which it was mentioned how often,
apparently in contradiction of the recieved wisdom, black follows up conceding
the bishop pair by going on to open the position. The justification was
two-fold. As well as the fact that the immediate compensation for the bishops
often took the form of a developmental plus, the sort of 'temporary'
initiative which will dissipate if the position remains closed, there was also
the claim that an opening of the position is necessary for knights to find the
kind of outposts essential to their well-being. This is very much the crux of
the matter here. 19...dxc5? is not so much a full opening of the position as
the opening of a diagonal which scarcely contributes to black's knights' hopes
of finding good squares. It is the failure to find outposts which eventually
sees black's pieces driven back in a kind of spatial nightmare scenario.} 20.
