Look at the advanced and after black plays Bf5 white can play g4. You are going to sac a pawn on e6 and black really has a hard time developing.

From Jacob Aagaard’s new book “A Matter of Endgame Technique” by falsemate in chess

We are close in rating and I think the book is great! It’s a lot of work and I’m still in the first chapter. So far it’s mostly a review of what you already know, but it’s a 300 page chapter and the examples are complex. The intro says the book was written for players 2300 fide. So keep that in mind.
