Now if White had some time to arrange his pieces he would have a good case against the isolated doubled c-pawns. As it is, however, Black is easily quick enough to resolve matters and exchange the weak pawns, while preserving his pair of bishops.
Black decides to transfer the king to the other wing because it will not be safe on the kingside. In fact, he should have started preparations for this on the previous move, when he retreated his knight from d7 to b8.
Immediately switching his attention to the queenside, trying to open up lines there.
After the text-move the black king proceed safely to b6. Both players kept the position closed and soon acquiesced in a draw.
