Black clears the b6 square for his knight to put pressure on the white c4-pawn and also create a passed pawn on the a-file.
15...Nf6? 16.Rfb1! and white takes the initiative on the queenside.
15...g6 With the idea of 16...e5 is also faced with 16.Rfb1.

Botvinnik weakened his dark squares a little and there is a touch of danger involved. But with his last move, Black achieved two goals: 1. He set up a hole on c4 for his pieces. In particular, he plans a future ... Nc6-a5-c4, when his knight dominates. 2. He damaged and weakened White's queenside pawns, handing him a pair of doubled pawns on the a-file. This may become a factor should queens come off the board.
After 11...Qb6 and 11...Nc6, white easily would play 12.Nc2.

Regrouping the pieces. The idea behind this ugly move is to transfer the knight to b4 via a6.
