But This variation fails due to 15.Rfb1. Did you checked it with Rybka? I cannot find such an analysis from Rising dude;

Oh I guess my eyes decieved me... c6 is the defense. I think Rc8 would still do just as fine as c6 though.

Ok, whipping out Rybka... will edit post soon.

Edit: Ok, after 14...Ra8-c8 Rybka does in fact like 15. Rf1-b1 (+.68 depth=14) ...Rybka's line is: ... Rc8-b8 16.c5xc6 c7xd6 17.c4-c5 Rh8-f8 18.Qf3-e4 Ke8-f7 19.c5xc6 Qd8xc6 and at this point Rybka scores the position at +.89 depth=13. But i didn't run Rybka at all between move 15 and 19, so I'm sure there are improvements. Edit3: ok, black improvement at 18...Qd8-a5 (+.49)

Still this isn't as dangerous as the line starting with 14.Ra1-b1. Edit2: Getting close though.
