White retakes. Can't find any intermezzo moves. |

Black wants to simplify even more. |

White needs to activate the King very soon and start trading down pawns so that the two Bishops get room to maneuver.
(White is complying to blacks plan to reduce material while being a pawn up) |

Analysis: White has two Bishops, black is on an active diagonal h2-b8, white on b1-h7. Black has a black Bishop and a Knight, has some space advantage and is one pawn up.
Plan: Activate the King and clear some space (i.e. remove some pawns) to be able to utilize the Bishop pair more effectively? |

Open up for the King and offer a trade of pawns.
([?] The text turns out to be a blunder and the loosing move.) |

(!) Nice move by black. White looses the two bishops. Black will get a passed protected pawn and white will have doubled pawns... |

White has to comply. The other options are not any better. White hopes to get a more active king than black. |

Now black has a protected passed pawn... not a pretty sight if you play white. White wants to keep black pawns on white squares where they can be attacked. |

White is aiming toward the queen side. It's the only counter play that exist. Aiming for d4, c5 and d6. |
