The first responsibility of the owner of the big [pawn] center is to make it indestructible.
Conversely, the responsibility of the player facing the pawn center is to apply constant pressure to it, and to try to prove it to be a weakness instead of a strength.
A center is only good because it restricts the opponent's pieces. If it has to advance and give the enemy pieces good squares, then its whole purpose has been negated.
