How can I recognize that c6 is a mistake by my opponent and that b7 is one of the best moves to punish it?
In this position, my thought process was that the opponents had doubled pawns, thinking that c3 would become weak over time. I believed there was no need to rush, so I played h6 to prevent a bishop pin with Bg6. However, the analysis consistently suggested playing b7 almost immediately, which I didn’t do.
I want to understand how I can more easily see that b7 is an obvious and decisive move to play without overthinking.
