This is somewhat hair-splitting. Strictly speaking, "restricting ..." modifies "Black pawns" whereas "which restricts ..." modifies an implied "the fact that Black pawns control the centre".
"thus restricting ..." emphasises that it is their control of the centre that causes them to restrict White, but this is understood anyway with "restricting ..." and "and restrict ...".
