Thanks to his strong passed pawn and the weakness on d4, Black is clearly better despite being the exchange down. The game continued:
8.Rb1 Rb8 9.h4 Rb7 10.Kh2 Kxd6 11.g4 Nc3 12.Ra1?! Nb5! 13.Rd1 Ra7 14.h5 g5! 15.Kg2 Ra2 16.Be2 Rxc2
Preparing h2-h4 in order to prevent the plan of ...Nh7 and ...Bg5 with a favourable bishop exchange.
From now on Black's bishop remains a "bad" one, and the knight on h7 proves misplaced.
Thanks to his space advantage and superior bishop, White is considerably better.
Before carrying on with the attack, White prevents a defensive exchange with ...Be7-c5.
