How should White parry the attack on the bishop?

White played 30. Nb2!, which prepares the advance of the queenside pawns. (See the following chess movie.)



In Game 14637800 against cardinalal (Black), the following position was reached after 26...e6-e5:



White played 27. Nf2!, opening the queen's path to the a2/g8 diagonal while retaining all of the rooks (which significance will soon be seen).
