White has pinned Black's rooks by defence of the d5 pawn. The bishop on b2 is stronger than the knight on c6, but the weakness of the d5 pawn is not enough to realize an advantage. White should create another weakness. White with this move, Supported by the bishop on b2, the pawn attack on the kingside must create one more weakness.
