4..Nd7 Karpov Variation

Najdorf Mem Open A 2019 rd7

The 4…Bf5 variation has been a big favorite with Karpov’s 4..Nd7 going out of fashion. White used the h-pawn as a battering ram to mount a brute force attack

After 16..Be7(Diagram)

The h-pawn has done its job and softened up the kingside. Is there anything more?

What do you recommend for White?

After 16..Be7
