We reached a standard position.

Black has a6,b6, and d6,e6 structure. Knights on d7 and f6, Bishops on B7 and e7.

White has Nb3,Nc3,Be3,Bd3,Rc1 and Qd2. pawns on e4 and c4. f3 to support e4 Maroczy bind.

What is next for White ?  Play on the queen side. Bring the queen to f2, with Be3-Qf2 targetting b6.
bring Rf1 to d1, bishop to f1, play h3 to avoid Ng4. Then push pawns.

Black adopts Fischer plan with Bishop on d8-c7.
