Mar-24-10		ChocolateCakeLover: Black's isolated pawn will not survive.

Jun-17-12		xombie: This is a typical example of the virtues of the Petrosian system, of which this is an improved version for white. Kasparov mentions the importance of provoking h6, which, as we can see leads to a weakened f5 pawn, thereby transforming what is ostensibly a bid for freedom for black to a weakness that lasts well into the endgame. Notice that Petrosian goes to great lengths provoking h6 - even playing a very unsolicited Bg5. Often times, the black king sits on h7, giving rise to tactical motifs on the b1-h7 diagonal.
