chess (2.1.2) simple chess - the d5 outpost (outposts 2)

Although Mr Emms' examples are good and instructive I prefer the game below
It's played by Bobby Fischer and can be considered the quintessence of the method to occupy the d5 square in the Sicilian Defense. The game is annotated by Fischer, I modified the algebraic notation, though.






an outpost


The second game is also played by Fischer. Now, with the Black pieces. he demonstrates how to fight against creating an outpost on d5, and eventually against his own system. This game is from gm Emms' book.



Building and having outposts is also crucial in computer based strategy games, such as AOE2.
