White is given a frightful choice: either he must concede control of the b-file or else exchange on b6, when Black is given a lever with which to prise open the white center pawn structure.

The exchange of queens doesn't help much, but if Harrwitz had just waited he could be assailed with ...Ra8 and ...b6-b5, when the a3-pawn would be a target for the black queen.
