Now I'm slightly confused - I've been vaguely trying to sort the (very complicated!) move orders in these lines out and was under the impression that white generally met Bd7 ^ Nxd4, Bc6 with Nb3.

There might well be some reason that white shouldn't do that here but I can't quite see what - I'm intrigued Smiley Is it that white has played an early Kh1 instead of a4?

After 10..Bd7, White usually plays 11.Qe1 or 11.Bf3.  Here is a recent game:

Zelcic-Movsesian, Dresden 2007

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. Be2 Be7 7. O-O O-O 8. f4 Nc6 9. Be3 Bd7 10. Kh1 a6 11. Qe1 b5 12. a3 Nxd4 13. Bxd4 Bc6 14. Qg3 Qb8 15. Bf3 Qb7 16. Rae1 Rad8 17. Re2 Kh8 18. Rfe1 Rd7 19. Rd2 Rg8 20. Rd3 a5 21. e5 Ne8 22. Ne4 dxe5 23. fxe5 b4 24. axb4 axb4 25. Qf4 Qc7 26. Qe3 Bd5 27. c3 bxc3 28. bxc3 Qd8 29. Red1 Qb8 30. Bc5 Rb7 31. Nd6 Bxd6 32.

In this position after 10.Kh1 most common reply is 10...Qc7.

What about 10...Bd7? What is the most recent games with this move?
