The alternative would have been a6 then Qb6 so the Bishop can't find a place on b5. Black's bad light Bishop is always better swapped off and cutting out the c and b files for White's Bishop means Be2 or Bd3 must be played. Qb6 does end up playing an important part however, the double attacks from centralization are over looked on White's part. } { [%cal Gb6b2,Gb6d4] [%clk 0:04:48] } (7... a6 8. Bd3 Bxd3 9.
