Black clears the b6 square for his knight to put pressure on the white c4-pawn and also create a passed pawn on the a-file.
15...Nf6? 16.Rfb1! and white takes the initiative on the queenside.
15...g6 With the idea of 16...e5 is also faced with 16.Rfb1.

Botvinnik weakened his dark squares a little and there is a touch of danger involved. But with his last move, Black achieved two goals: 1. He set up a hole on c4 for his pieces. In particular, he plans a future ... Nc6-a5-c4, when his knight dominates. 2. He damaged and weakened White's queenside pawns, handing him a pair of doubled pawns on the a-file. This may become a factor should queens come off the board.
After 11...Qb6 and 11...Nc6, white easily would play 12.Nc2.
