In the figure to the right, ref http www.chessgames.com perl chessgame?gid 1214005 Viswanathan Anand Anand vs. Vassily Ivanchuk Ivanchuk , Melody Amber chess tournament Amber , 2001 ref c4 is an outpost, occupied by White s knight. It can t be attacked by Black s pawns because there is no pawn on the d file, and Black s pawn on the b file is too far advanced. Outposts are a favourable position from which to launch an attack, particularly using a Knight chess knight . The reason an outpost is so strong is that it is immune to attack from major pieces Rook chess rooks and Queen chess queens because of the pawn, whilst if the enemy wishes to attack it with a pawn it generally weakens its own pawn structure . Knights are most efficient when they are close to the enemy s stronghold. This is because of their short reach, something not true of Bishop chess bishops , rooks and queens. They are also more effective in the centre of the board than on the edges. Therefore the ideal to be aimed at is an outpost in one of the central c,d,e or f files in an advanced position i.e. the sixth rank with a knight. Knowledge of outposts and their effectiveness is crucial in exploiting situations where you have an Isolated pawn isolated queen s pawn . On the other hand, Nimzovich argued when the outpost is in one of the flank a,b,g and h files the ideal piece to make use of the outpost is a rook. This is because the rook can put pressure on all the squares along the rank. For further information see Nimzovich s Mein System My System .

An Outpost of Progress is a short story written in July 1896 by Joseph Conrad , drawing on his own experience at Congo. It was published in the magazine Cosmopolis A Literary Review Cosmopolis in 1897 and was later collected in Tales of Unrest in 1898. Often compared with Heart of Darkness , Conrad considered it his best tale, owing to its scrupulousness of tone and severity of discipline . Plot summary The story revolves around two Belgian agents, named Kayerts and Carlier, who are assigned to a trading post in a remote part of the African Jungle. There they take part in ivory trade ivory trading , hoping to financially benefit the company as well as themselves. With no specific tasks or important things to be done, they both become increasingly isolated and demoralized as the time goes by. At one point in the story, the native Makola, serving as Kayerts s and Carlier s bookkeeper, initiates an exchange of slaves for ivory trade ivory . Initially Kayerts and Carlier are stunned and scandalized by the idea, yet eventually they accept the deal and aid Makola for his huge profit.
