In the Steinitz Variation...

White moves this pawn forward

Breaking up Black’s central control

1. If Black takes this pawn with a pawn

White should move this pawn forward

Chasing the Knight

And after this move

He takes this pawn

And gains a tempo on the Knight

2. If Black takes the pawn with a Knight

White should take this pawn

And after this pawn advance

He simply brings the Bishop here

White has an outpost

An extra move

And more attacking chances
