It's defending e5. Black can't attack the queen, and f6 is off the table at the moment aswell. Only way for Black to take advantage is Bxc5–Qb6 before White castles. I did some further analysis on this Nc6–Nb4 and I don't think it's that great for Black

Nice game! "On the other hand would GM Soćko be happy after this game? No" but maybe the question you should be asking is, what would Mr. Soćko think of your play? Given you outprepared him and gave him quite a scare, I think he would be quite complimentary all things considered. If you're anything like me, you beat yourself up too much when you make mistakes. They will happen. Such is life. The good news is, you have the unrelenting desire to eradicate such mistakes and over time, they will be. Nice read :)

During the Ding-Gukesh match saw it on Take Take Take live stream, when Ludwig Hammer mentioned it and I fell in love in this line
