I saw I had to mention this aswell the setup with the bishop on b2 and the Knight on d2. Is actualy a try of controling both coloured fields, White and Black for instance if black then capture on c4 Black Recaptures with the knight on c4 Black does not get any counterplay (White also can play e4 more easely because the pawn on d4 is covered) So previous mesage was actualy corect only to make it more clear why Black first played his bishop to b4 and why it later on retreads to e7 this should have been mentioned aswell too make it all clear .
