in this instance it was proven that white did not need a dark squared bishop for the square to be considered weak, black did not have one either, its weakness was created due to the fact that it could not be protected by a pawn, for if the pawn had advanced , then it simply left further weakness in its stead, not because of the absence or otherwise of bishops, me thinks.
- the weakness of the c6 pawn itself, which was under constant attack and needed constant defense; and most importantly
- the fact that Black had one whole piece too few to defend that pawn.
He never even tried to defend the square c5, and your "attack" against it was never of any import; it was really an attack of the c6 pawn behind it.

instead of ...c5, i knew it was a positional and strategic mistake, now let me tell you
something about pawns, see the square in front of a pawn, it is an excellent place to
post your pieces, especially, as in this instance the square could not be defended by
another pawn, without incurring further positional concessions. By piling pieces up on
the square in front of the pawn, it facilitated the entire campaign and you say it was of
little consequence! feel your bum shallow one! and go and learn how to play against an
isolated pawn, for anyone will tell you, anyone that understands of course, its not the
pawn itself that is the real weakness, but the square in front of it. Vindicated, I swish
my cloak around me and head of into the night, swiiiishhhhh.
