Chess question, easiest life as black

in this instance it was proven that white did not need a dark squared bishop for the square to be considered weak, black did not have one either, its weakness was created due to the fact that it could not be protected by a pawn, for if the pawn had advanced , then it simply left further weakness in its stead, not because of the absence or otherwise of bishops, me thinks.

Nonsense. The weakness of that square was nearly irrelevant for the entire game. What won you the game were two things:
- the weakness of the c6 pawn itself, which was under constant attack and needed constant defense; and most importantly
- the fact that Black had one whole piece too few to defend that pawn.

He never even tried to de ainst it was never of any import; it was really an attack of the c6 pawn behind it.
