b5 7. Bb3 c5 {Bllack wants to "arc" the Bishop with ...c4 but it won't happen.
White has two pieces developed to Black's zero. Black has made a lot of pawn
moves instead more prudently developing pieces and Castling early.} 8. Bd5 Rb8

but with the Queens off the board we are in and endgame where the Black King
is better placed on e7 than g8. The King is a fighting piece in the endgame.})
