Analysis of the Qa5 dragon

I should also probably mention that 10... Rc8 is also a main line for Black and was at the time IMO an improvement on 10... Qa5. But if Black is going to play the a-rook to c8 then 10... Qa5 is inconsistent as the queen doesn't necessarily belong on a5 in the 10... Rc8 lines. So 10... Rac8 may just lead to something that is += compared with the normal 10... Rc8 lines. In any case I didn't consider it because I don't think any Black player was playing 10... Qa5 and 11... Rac8.

When I had the Black side of the Dragon, I played 10... Rc8 11. Bb3 Ne5 12. h4 h5, which I thought led to an equal position.

However chess theory changes rapidly so who knows what's been discovered since 2004.
