  GrahamClayton: A classic example of the Q-side minority attack, eg 13. b4 and 20. b5.

  Breunor: Why would Ljubojevic play this kind of game against Karpov? At this kind of position Karpov is an absolute magician!
Apr-03-18  Toribio3: Karpov played like Capablanca.

Ljubojevic had black against Karpov 31 times. Was he supposed to play 31 Benko gambits?

Anyway, sometimes this approach worked.

And sometimes sharper stuff didn't.
