π 7...b6!
Considering that White is eager to play c2-c3 to secure his king on c2, Black hurries to put the bishop on the f1-a6 diagonal, where it will touch the key square on d3.
7...e5 weakens the d5-square and white can exploit it in future.
7...c4? 8.e5! Now 8...b6 can no longer be played due to 9.Nd4.
