It is clearly positionally indicated that White focus his attention on
the dark squares. As Black's unopposed bishop is the light-squared bishop,
White wants to fix Black's pawns on light squares so that that bishop becomes
moribund. More importantly, if White plays to control the dark squares, and he
later engineers a trade of dark-squared bishops, his knight will find juicy
dark-squared outposts later.
