Answers.Text: Even if d6 weren't lost immediately, the general problem with solving the problem of a weak pawn on e7 by ...e7-e5 d5xe6ep and taking back with a piece is that then you will always have a new weak pawn on d6.

  <p>It deals with the rooks, white managed to semi-open the <code>e</code> column and will deploy a massive attack on it. My question is : why black does not play <code>e7-e5</code>? After <code>dxe6</code> the white pawn is sufficiently attacked by black's forces, and if there is a global exchange on <code>e6</code>, the weakening of the black's castle does not seem to be dangerous.</p>

  In a book from J.Silman, I found this position:
  
  ```
   [FEN "r1qr2k1/p2bppbp/3p2p1/1p1P4/3B1P2/1B3Q1P/PPP3P1/3RR1K1 b - - 0 17"]

  It deals with the rooks, white managed to semi-open the `e` column and will deploy a massive attack on it. My question is : why black does not play `e7-e5`? After `dxe6` the white pawn is sufficiently attacked by black's forces, and if there is a global exchange on `e6`, the weakening of the black's castle does not seem to be dangerous.
