The position of the black pawn on b6 is important for assessing the position because its advance has weakened the light squares on the queenside.

White strives to transpose into the ending by exchanging queens. In the ending, the weakness of the d4 pawn is of utmost importance.

🔹 In this position, after 44 ... Rd3 , white had better and could win by 45.Re3 but by a mistake move (45.Be3) allowed Mamedyarov to give counterplay game.
45.Re3 would put the stop to Black's idea of sacrificing the
exchange as it happened in the game.
