Baburin The g6P invites White to open the h-file by h4-h5xg6, while the same idea of a pawn storm is not that easy for Black. White starts first, which is very important in such situations. [18...Rac8

Kasparov's strategy has worked perfectly. A target was created (...g6) which enables a file to be opened. Compare with Ivanchuk - Ehlvest where Black refused to commit the kingside pawns. Ftacnik K on the opposite sides force both players into resolute actions.
