What is an "outpost"?
In chess, an outpost is a square on the board that is well-defended and difficult for the opponent to challenge, often located in the enemy's territory. A piece, usually a knight, occupies this square and is supported by its own pawns, making it hard for the opponent to remove it. Outposts are valuable because they provide a strong position from which the piece can exert influence on the board, control key squares, and support other pieces. Establishing an outpost can be a key part of a player's strategy, as it creates a lasting advantage.
