I'd appreciate some comments on this position, Black to move. It arises from a Caro. The game ended in a draw.

My thoughts during play.

Technical Analysis
-White space = 7 development = 5
-Black space = 14 develpment = 6 with move

Most are probably not familiar with these techniques. They were taught to me by an old master. Space is how many squares you attack beyond the 3rd rank and time is how many moves it would take to get your pieces to their positions.

Advantage Black

However, the centre is semi-fixed and inhibits Black's mobility. I expect White to be able to develop more easily and at least equalize if not gain an advantage.

I played e6 to open it up and use my advantage now. Here's the full game http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=8376336 It does leave me an isolani, but I figured open lines and active pieces would give me chances. My oponent played well and we drew.

Thanks for any insight.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical of all that jargony stuff.  It sounds like Point Count and Pawn Power and a hundred other things I tried (and wound up discarding) over the years.

I would guess that White is a bit better here, since Black's bishop is shut in, and he either has to: 1) develop it off to a6, where it doesn't do much; or 2) play ...e5 and accept the isolated d pawn.

You give the advantage to Black, but then say that White ought to be able to at least equalize.  To me, this seems a bit of a contradiction.

I'm a Caro-Kahn addict, and while not an expert, will weigh in on this topic.

Unless there are tactics staring me in the face, I tend to think in terms of schematics, and not exact move variations.

In the given position I note that the imbalance of white's good bishop and black's bad bishop, but both bishops are passive (white would love to have the bishop on the b1-h7 diagonal.)

White will want to control action on the kingside with ideas of: Nd2-f3-e5, Ra1-e1-e3-h3, Qe2 or Qd3, and Bc2 after pawn to c3. White may wish to incorporate f2-f4.

Black may want to play on the queenside with a minority attack via b7-b5, a7-a5, etc, Rfc8. Black must be aware of white's intentions on the other side, so he may need to play some judicious defensive moves such as Nd7-f8.

Black may consider playing e5 as in your game, but playing with an IQP is not to everyone's taste. 

Which side is better? Objectively, I'd call it a bit even (then again, remember I am a CK fanatic) and the side that prevails is probably the one who better understands the requirements of the position and best implements his/her plan and counters his opponent's efforts...just like in all chess contests.
