I thought White would just leave the a-pawn on a2 and when Black plays ...
b6-b5, just defend with b2-b3. The only difficulty in the position is, after
the b-pawns are exchanged on c4, that a Black bishop on c6 threatens both e4
and to penetrate via a4 (one the b-pawns are gone). The White bishop on c2 can
defend against this, but can Black zugzwang the bishop off c2, and once the
Black bishop arrives on a4, does that mean anything?
