{Baburin: One drawback to having doubled pawns is that often your opponent
may get a good place for his pieces in front of such a pawn. This applies 
particularly to isolated doubled pawns. A typical example of this is a 
pawn pair c2-c3, or c3-c4, which often occurs when Black plays something 
like ... Bxc3. This is often a good way of imbalancing the position; White
uses this technique equally often by playing Bxc6. Our next 6 games will 
illustrate this theme.}

14.bxc3 {Baburin: As a result of his action Black has got an excellent 
square for his knight on c5, the white pawns on the c-file are good 
targets for his pieces, while White can hardly take any advantage of 
Black's somewhat loose kingside.} 14...O-O 15.Rfd1 Rfc8 16.Qd3 $6 {White's
position is unpleasent. He has several weaknesses, while he has no 
compensation in return. White decides to try and do something on the 
king's side but his pieces just get stuck there, Rd2-Rad1 was a possible 
try}
