I think black is great after 12 ... Ra4 but 11. Nxb5!? ab 12. Bxb5 with exf5 to follow has reasently gain the status of a critical line. This line is more unpleasant to face than 11. Bxb5?!. But I still prefer 10. -f5. I don't trust the lines after 10. -Bg7 11. Bd3 Ne7.

After

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cd 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 6. Ndb5 d6 7. Bg5 a6
8. Na3 b5 9. Bxf6 gf 10. Nd5 

do you prefer 10. -Bg7 or 10. -f5? Which continuation do you think is objectivly stronger?



I don't play the Black side of this, but I consider 10...f5 the strongest move.  But if you play that way, White can play 11. Bxb5 axb5  12. Nxb5.  Black's best defense then is 12...Ra4, but it has the problem that White can, if he wishes, force a perpetual.  I think this may be a problem for Black when he must win.  Moves other than 12...Ra4 seem to offer White pretty good chances for his material.
