Black is prevented from disrupting the white center with ...b5-b4, putting a pawn alongside his furthest advanced pawn in thematic style, when after the capture c3xb4 he has ...Bxf3 followed by ...Qxd4+. He is also restrained from utilizing his queenside pawn majority with ...a7-a5 and ...b5-b4 when he might have created a passed pawn. Black's cause is greatly hampered by the fact that his king's bishop is buried on g7: White's own dark-squared bishop has no rival when it comes to restraining any counterplay on the queenside.
