Position after 11 Be3
The most prominent feature of this line is the mobilization
of the c1 bishop to e3. This gives Black a free tempo for
his kingside attack when he plays ... f4, but in compensation
the bishop at f2 is well placed to help White's queenside play.
Not only does it support c4-c5, it also aids to put uncomfortable
pressure on the a7 pawn and if Black should later play ... a6
(to prevent Nb5, for example), the weak b6 square comes under fire.
While Black is able to play an easy ... g4-g5 in the above position,
mate isn't guaranteed, as White can defend by Kh1 and Bg1. After
gxh the bishop returns to f2 and Black's attack still has some way
to go.
