Yes, I agree with 10. ... Rc8.
This move gives the forum at least a fight along what is to be the heavily contested c-rank...

It seems to me that after 10... Rc8 11. Bb3 Ne5 12. h4 h5!? the position is approximately equal, however, after 12. Kb1 Nc4 13. Bxc4 Rxc4 14. g4 white seems to have the advantage.
10... Rb8!? looks very interesting.
I'm going to go with [b]10... Rb8!?
Edit: Perhaps 12. Kb1 Nc4 13. Bxc4 Rxc4 14. g4 h5!?[/b]

I think this is where we are missing Paul, so i will post some theory for consideration in his absence, basically there are lots of continuations here, i will post them all for your personal analysis but will only post theory on the most popular, or unless anyone wants specific theory on a particular line they can ask, the choices are 10...a6, 10...Q ...[text shortened]... 9...Bd7 with a tempo down for White. Black can choose between the usual 11...Ne5 and 11...Qa5.

A rare move for the Dragon. Although the idea to advance the b-pawn is often implemented in various lines of the Dragon, doing so by playing 10...a6 proved to be too slow. The point ...[text shortened]... is much more difficult to create counterplay on the queenside, see Hovanecz,L - Kulcsar,G 1-0.
