Having a pawn protect a piece in an outpost is good. I can pin the knight with my bishop if I go to b5. The pin isn’t the best trick, but it grants me flexibility and can also enable me to stop the progress of the doubled pawns.
I have a question for you engine users out there
b5 is not a outpost cause there is a c pawn
Which is why I said it was a semi-outpost. It’ll take time for the opponent to kick away the bishop, and that can only be done by permanently putting the pawn on that square. The knight can’t have that, which weakens central power.
also g4 g5 is not a human idea
An immediate capture would lead to dire consequences for my opponent. Just do the calculations.
you played be3 on move 18 in the middle of an attack explain your self
I just made some simple calculations.

oh no that does not make sense for a second explain what you were calculating

By the way, how was I under attack? What the rook going to do? Capture my bishop?
also be3 is not a human move
