Could anyone explain why b4 is rated as a blunder by the lichess engine. I don't see any obvious advantages for black If I follow the lines. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Look at the light squares in front of your king. Extremely weak. A plan for black (after retreating with the queen) is to develop the light square bishop and exploit those weak light squares in front of your king. At the same time, white has no clear plan of attack. It’s just a very weak position.
