b5 9.Nd5 Be7 10.Bxf6 Bxf6 11.c3 Ne7 {Fighting for d5-square before 
castling. The idea is that after 12.Nf6 gf6, Black tries to push d6-d5 
immidiately, after which in many variations the Queens swap is possible 
and Black`s King will be well placed in the centre.} 12.Nc2

the queenside with a4. So first of all Black has to prevent that. That`s 
why to castle in this moment is not precise.}
