πŸ“˜ 15...Qe8!
An important move.The idea is simple: exchange of part of the bishop pair. Subsidiary ideas include the control of the square in front of the 'isolani' and the possibility that the h4 bishop is not so great. In other words, there are scenarios in which black can have ambitions too.

Again, an exchange with implications for the dark squares. Of course, there are different opinions:
"An interesting decision. Usually white tries to do the opposite, close the position. Personally, I would wait for this capture" (A.Gershon).
