Not only Black is not garanteed to get their pawn back, moreover they lose time and weaken both the center (d5 in particular) and the kingside (all the dark squares). You rather focus on activity than on the meaningless Pc5. As often has not, the pawn sacrifice is made "definitive" by offering the pawn exchange ...b6 cb6 ab6 to open the queenside. | |
