While a good chessplayer is always seeking a good outpost for his Knights, it is just as important to outpost the other pieces. For example Rg6 not Ng6 is the best move here since black is forced to exchange rooks--to avoid Rdg1--and the resulting position gives white a Pawn only 2 squares away from its sex change operation.

Here is another example of out posting technique. In this diagram an out posted Queen becomes a Powerful Passed Pawn.
