an unnecessary pawn move that wastes time and also creates tactical opportunites for Black's dark-square bishop |

prevents the pawn fork, but now the light-square bishop is "bad" |

The rook exchange benefits black, who is ahead in development. |

The bishop moves to a better diagonal. |

supports the e5 pawn, but opens up the a2-g8 diagonal for White's bishop |

The a-file is of no use to anyone. All the action is on the kingside, where both kings are located. |

The discovered check wins more material. |

White's king is getting cornered on the opposite side of the board. |

White has 5 out of 6 pieces on the b-file and is in zugzwang. |
