The knight at b6 is attacked and nowhere to go! Except a8.
Black is a bit stuck!

despite having two extra pawns. He suffers from numerous weaknesses, and he lacks counterplay. To begin exploiting Black's weak kingside, White might have been planning Bh3..., Bf5..., and Qh3...; or Kh1... and Rg1...; or some combination of these maneuvers.

Jul-23-25  FM David H. Levin: The ECO designation D02 is incorrect. The position reached by 6. Bg2 is given in ECO E (2nd. ed., 1991) in E11, subheading just above line 36. I'm about to submit a correction slip.
