Slav Exchange 4.Nc3 Nf6 5.Bf4 Nc6 6.e3 a6 7.Bd3 Bg4 8.Nge2-TWIC 957

TWIC 957
White chose an equal looking ending with doubled b-pawns early in the game but GM Smeets kept the play alive and found some interesting ideas to make problems for white.

Position 1
Black is in the process of converting a hard-earned extra pawn but white has other ideas. Rb3 attacks Nb6 and the b7 pawn so the conversion does not look so easy. What do you suggest for black?
