White has the enduring IQP weakness yet Black is undeveloped with no play. This ends quickly after 20. d5! opening it up.

  perfidious: The position before White's tenth move is a well-known tabiya which can be reached via myriad move orders; back in the day, I got there a number of times on the Black side of a Panov Caro-Kann.
